Well-Reviewed: Sunlite Bamboo Bike Basket

Bicycling Magazine put the Sunlite Bamboo Quick Release Front Basket ($39.99; available online and in our stores) in the spotlight as one of "9 Beautiful Bike Baskets" that "hold everything from Chimay to Chihuahuas" in style.

Of the Sunlite Bamboo, they said:

This lightweight bamboo-slat basket attaches via a quick-release handlebar mount, making removal a snap. At the beach? Chain your bike to a boardwalk rack, remove the basket, and throw the shoulder strap over your head to carry your towel, sundries, and Hollywood trash rag down to the sand for a day of sun, surf, and relaxation.

The Sunlite Bamboo is perfect for the Chamay, but if you want to carry your Chihuahua on your bike, we (like Bicycling) recommend you forego the Sunlite Bamboo and instead get a Nantucket Pet Basket -- stylish AND safe for your precious cargo!
