Sorry if this question has been asked before, share a link there if it has.
(I have a 29" bike with knobby tires and no suspension that I usually keep outside on a covered balcony)
I started biking to college from my apartment last semester along a fairly rough road/path, then a smoother paved road and footpaths for about 8 miles/day. I bought a cheap basket mount from Walmart that is now broken beyond use. I unfortunately never actually took a photo of my bike with the basket on it.
I believe my old rack broke from shearing sideways or being weakened by extreme cold rather than the weight, but it may have just been the weight (my backpack is about 20 pounds, groceries can be heavier).
What would be the best bike rack for me?
(within a reasonable budget, >$50, I could go more if it will last forever, but I also just had a $20 rack that lasted 8 months of cold temperatures)
Any reviews/ideas are greatly appreciated.
[when I looked at the photo of the mount, I saw I could probably reattach the arms to the other mounts designed for the pannier guard, but those will likely break in the same way pretty soon]
