Although this is a nice looking, sturdy basket, the velcro is not long enough for any bicycles with adjustable speed and brake cables running around the front and to the back of the bike. This basket is strictly for single-speed bicycles that have regular sized handlebars to accomodate the short velcro straps.

I read all the reviews before I placed the order. It was cute small basket just as other people mentioned. The dimension ( I measured the interior of the basket.) is Width: 10 inch ( the widest part )/ Depth: 7 inch/ Hight: 6 inch. It is big enough to put 6 oranges, size wise.. I like my basket. The little problems are, 1) the velcro is little bit short for my handles. 2) The basket ( velcro ) comes off from handle when I go over the bump on the street. 3) When I put a small water melon , about 4 Lbs weight, the velcro came down from the handle. This is not for heavy shopping anyway. Still, I am happy because of the look, and it goes with my little folding bicycle look anyway. Since I live in Down Town LA, when I lock my bicycle at a market parking, I always take the basket with me. It is very easy to remove the basket from my bicycle. The price was very good deal as well. I am happy about my purchase.

The basket is well made, looks pretty, and fits my bike perfectly. Size is a little small. If you want to go to farmer's market, this would be too small to hold any produces. I had read the review before I bought it, so it is expected. However it would be nice if they put measurement numbers in the description.

We bought this basket to attach to a retro-looking 14" Diamondback Della Cruz bicycle for our four year old daughter. When the basket arrived, I initially thought it would be too big for her bicycle. But it turned out to be the perfect size. It is bigger - wider and deeper - than most children's plastic bicycle baskets. This has turned out to be quite a good thing. When my girls go bike riding, my daughter is always pleased to be able to carry the larger stuffed animals or her lunch sack or a huge pile out outdoor treasures (rocks!leaves!magnolia cones!).

It's held up really well. I'm ashamed to say we've left the bike out in the rain a few too many times, but the basket - despite a slight change in color - is sturdy as ever!

I'm not convinced this would be the ultimate basket for an adult's bike, but that all depends on what you're wanting to tote along. You could carry a small purse in here, or maybe a few (2-4) library books, or a small Sigg bottle and a paper lunch sack. But it's definitely not good for a trip to the grocery store or anything.

For our purposes, however, it was absolutely ideal. It's also easy to attach which is nice. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a smaller basket for an old-fashioned single-speed bicycle.

I bought this basket on a Friday and I had it by Monday. I love this basket, it is not big, but I like it because it fits my water, garage door opener, cell phone, wallet or whatever I might need for my ride. Love it!

I bought this for my college-bound daughter's new bike. When I showed her the online picture, she thought it would be too small, but upon arrival, she was pleasantly surprised to find it large enough to hold many more things than she expected. It's a great size for her bike, and since she wanted an old fashioned look to go with her retro bike, this was perfect. She really likes the quick-release velcro and handle in case she wants to lug it with her shopping or to class. I can't speak to the durability of it yet, she's only had a month, but at $9.99, I can buy another one or two and not break the bank. Overall, I give it a B+ to A-

I bought this basket for my 9 yo daughter for her bike for Christmas. The great thing about this basket is that you can remove it easily because of the velcro and use the handle to walk around with it. No, it's not big enough for shopping trips or anything like that. But, it's big enough for a water bottle and a barbie or snack. A sweater would also probably fit in there, if needed.

This basket is on the small side, certainly, measuring about 9.5 x 8 x 8", but that's still bigger than what I was anticipating based on other reviews. Probably not big enough if you like to stock up at the farmer's market, as others have said, but big enough to go return a couple of average-sized library books while still holding your keys and wallet, and maybe a few other small items. It seems sturdy, it's definitely cute, and I imagine that I'll have it for a long time.

This is great for quick trips on the bike to store keys, water bottle, and cell phone! So happy and easy to attach!

Black plastic rings that connect basket to velco are really weak. We snapped them while attaching the basket to the bike.
