Product Description
The Wald 582 sets the standard for ingenuity when it comes to rear baskets. Mounting to the side of almost any rear rack, this nimble basket is the perfect size for packing 1-2 bags of groceries while balancing your load. When not in use, the base of the basket pivots up allowing the side walls to collapse. A simple clamp at the top of the side panels keeps everything secured while the basket is folded up to one inch thick

Fits grocery bags perfectly July 24, 2008
Amazon's price was the cheapest I could find. These fit easily onto a bike rack with 3 metal straps and bolts. My rack was very thick so I had to buy longer bolts but normal bike racks would have no problem.
They weigh 5 pounds so consider that if you lift your bike much. Seems like a small weight but it's noticeable.
Grocery bags fit nicely. These open and close with a built in latch that's very secure. I commute with my bike so these make a stop at the grocery store possible.

I couldn't be happier with these baskets. I've been riding my bike to work and really needed something like these - so when I saw them - I knew they were exactly what I needed. My 15-year-old son installed them for me - took him about 10 minutes. They are solid and secure. Gerat, great product. Highly recommended.
 Good not perfect. July 9, 2008

It took about 10 minutes to install on the bike, but about 1 hour of tinkering to get it perfect so I wouldn't hit my feet on the baskets. The hardware isn't locking hardware so I will have to get a new set. The hinges are garbage. They either don't open or don't close. A few pieces of nylon could have been used to make it not so noisy. Zip ties can only do so much on this design. If there were another set of baskets like this I would recommend those, but there is not.
BUY THIS BASKET! July 6, 2008

I purchased 2 of these baskets but have so far only attached one to my bike. I was glad another reviewer mentioned not centering the basket on your rack to avoid having your heels hit the basket. This makes it harder to attach the bracket designed to help stabalize the lower part of the basket but don't let that little problem scare you. This basket is perfect to use with the popular reusable grocery bags. I tie the handles together to help secure my groceries on the ride home. I knew I'd enjoy saving gas with my grocery baskets but I had no idea how much fun it would be. I've been amazed by how much food I've carried with just one basket. I keep expecting to have problems with balance and the strain of lugging 40lbs of food, but, so far my trips have been pure JOY!

If you are using these baskets for groceries they work fine. I have a handle bar bag for 1 gallon size milk container, my bananas and tomatoes. The other stuff, beer, wine, coffee, vegetables, other can goods and meat fit nicely in the rear baskets. Weight is not a problem, they are strong. No problem with foot clearance, just make sure you mount them far enough back. I wear a size 43 bike shoe and have more than an inch clearance. Note: The baskets are mounted on my touring bike. They do not rattle empty or full. The price is right.
