    Where do you guys get your budget baskets from (GER/EU)?


    Browsing for front racks I feel like the term budget basket is an oxymoron. Once I got lucky and grabbed a tiny-ish steel supermarket basket from a thrift store for 5 €. Now I need a basket for this ride, it has a front rack already, not super huge, just for a bag, purse, bottle. I don’t really want to spent 80+ euros on the latest BLB basket iteration

      At some point h&m had “socks” baskets for organizing that where kind of hidden on the website but where the “standard” bike basket size.

      Probably won’t last forever but I got two for 20€ or something like that

      I think you can luck on clothes “organizers” or whatever in interior design type of shops

      Ich hab für viele Bikes Glück bei Woolworth gehabt. Der bei uns hat eine riesige Prophete Fahrradzeug Abteilung. Ansonsten gibt’s da auch mal so Körbe beim Bastel oder Heimbedarf. Alles für anständige Preise

      I live in the vicinity of a farmers market (AUT). They get their produce in these plastic crates. They throw them out in the public trash cans (a tradegy really how much waste they produce).

      But now I have a big set of different sizes, I collected out of the trash cans. No regrets.

      I don’t use one, but so far I heard Basil is the go to standard for cheaper ones.

      Korbmärkte. No, seriously, there is a basket stand at Nuremberg’s Easter and Autumn markets, and there’s an annual Korbmarkt up the road in Lichtensfels where I can get wicker baskets in all shapes and sizes relatively cheap.

      I have a wooden wine crate. Got it from a …..wine shop. Different sizes are available.

      Usually I get creative and rework a “Getränkekiste” (Beverage Crate) or look for other things I can misuse as a basket.

      Might be a bit tougher in this case as you need to find something that don’t ruin the look of your bike. You might have a look for something like a hamster cage that you can cut to size, rework and repaint.

      Basil Tigre Kinder-Fahrradkorb is small and should be available in most bike stores and cost about €10.

      Versuchs bei der lokalen ADFC-Werkstatt/falls Unistadt Asta-Fahrradwerkstatt/… da spült sich sowas eigentlich immer an

      I have a Basil Cairo in the front. €14,00 online. I got it mounted on a small rack like yours, but the welds didnt hold. Im now making a diy surly tv tray to spread the load.
