## Description

Take off with Retrospec Bicycle's Apollo steel bike basket. We've designed this basket with the intention of making it the most utilitarian option on the market. While it's on your bike, it's securely fastened, stowing away your various possessions. But as soon as you arrive at your intended destination, you can easily lift off the Apollo basket and take it everywhere you go. The ergonomic (and removable) handles transform this simple bicycle accessory into an all-around-town basket, ideal for grocery shopping. The opening is large enough to accommodate nearly anything, from eggs and milk to textbooks to your own backpack. The steel frame is strong, sturdy, and weather-proof, perfect for daily use. The lower third of the basket is made of a steel mesh, designed to prevent your smaller treasures from escaping (stop fretting over loose items jiggling around). And in a black, white, or silver finish, our Apollo basket will complement and fit on any type bike, no tools required. This 9.5"x10.5"x14" basket is the most versatile accessory for all of your cycling and storing needs.

Review: It is a very good basket, even though I returned it - I really liked the basket. I liked the way it was easy to install and the size of the basket, and how easy it is to remove it from its carrier. But I discovered that my bike's geometry did not work well with this basket. The handlebar stem on my bike is too short and it made the basket. Stick out at a strange angle. That made it feel heavier than it was. I have some other bikes and it would have worked fine on them if they needed a basket, but they didn't. I don't know how you figure out if your bike has the right geometry but if your handlebar stem is fairly long and angles out over your front wheel, it will probably be great for your bike. If you have a short stem that does not angle out, it puts the basket at an odd angle and makes it have weighting issues. I was trying to put it on my ebike. You can see from the photos that the light is in the way, but that could be moved down to right above the tires. That was really not an issue. If you look at the picture with the blue arrows, you can see one arrow is straight-up-and-down. The other arrow is the angle of the basket, which is really quite tipped on my bike. On my husband's bike the handlebars angle out in such a way that it would have been fine for his bike, but he doesn't want a basket.
Review: Easy to use - This basket is great! It is firmly secured to the bike, but it pops right off when you pick up the handles, so you can use it as a reusable shopping basket! 5 stars UPDATE: I've been using the basket for about 2 months now, and while I'm still happy with it, a few things have popped up 1) I have 2 different bikes, and the handlebar mount doesn't fit as well on one bike, which puts it in danger of popping off the handlebars unless it's loaded. Be aware, and keep at least a small load in the basket! 2) As another review noted, it's easy to have the end caps pop off the handles (it's happened twice to me). This makes the basket unsafe, but it's easy to fix. Just buy screw end caps of the right size at your local Home Depot or other hardware store.
