Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This basket is reasonably sturdy and the quality of the gloss black finish is excellent. The folding design works well. It looks as if it would rattle like crazy when you're riding with it folded, but thanks to the tight retention hooks, it's quite solid. The basket's nicely sized for grocery bags.
The downside here is the same as with the other Wald products I've tried: The mounting hardware is appallingly out of date. It's English, not metric, and Wald doesn't use locknuts, only lockwashers attached to the screws (where they are useless). This is less of an issue here than it is for the other Wald products, because this one doesn't attach directly to your bike, only to the rack. Go out and buy some locknuts and you'll have no problems.
Alas, the mounting clamps are too small to fit the fatter tubing used on many modern racks. You'll probably have to use the Wald rack (or some other old-school, inexpensive rack). And that rack is well-built and sturdy, but its mounting hardware has to be adapted to fit current bikes.

Product Description:
Bicycle baskets are the definition of functionality. By simply clamping a bicycle basket to your handlebar or rear rack, you can easily carry more stuff to and from wherever you may be pedaling. The versatile Wald 582 rear basket is no exception, with a large basket area that makes it easy to carry one or two bags of groceries, picnic items, or other essentials while riding.
The Wald rear bicycle basket folds compactly for easy storage. The 582 mounts to the side of a rear bicycle rack, so it won't get in your way as you pedal. Then, once you arrive at your destination, the base of the basket pivots up and the side walls collapse, making the basket easy to carry and store.
Bike baskets also offer a number of secondary benefits. They help prevent riders from carrying items in their hands, keeping their focus where it belongs. They also help balance the excess weight appropriately, so you won't feel off kilter each time you round a corner. They can even impact your wallet by saving you money on gas when running errands. And, of course, they can contribute to your physical and mental well being, as bike riding is terrific exercise and helps clear the mind.
Available in plated, black, and white finishes, the Wald 582 measures 12.75 by 8.5 by 7.25 inches (W x H x D) when open and 1 inch thick while folded.
