Take off with Retrospec Bicycle's Apollo steel bike basket. We've designed this basket with the intention of making it the most utilitarian option on the market. While it's on your bike, it's securely fastened, stowing away your various possessions. But as soon as you arrive at your intended destination, you can easily lift off the Apollo basket and take it everywhere you go. The ergonomic (and removable) handles transform this simple bicycle accessory into an all-around-town basket, ideal for grocery shopping. The opening is large enough to accommodate nearly anything, from eggs and milk to textbooks to your own backpack. The steel frame is strong, sturdy, and weather-proof, perfect for daily use. The lower third of the basket is made of a steel mesh, designed to prevent your smaller treasures from escaping (stop fretting over loose items jiggling around). And in a black, white, or silver finish, our Apollo basket will complement and fit on any type bike, no tools required. This 9.5"x10.5"x14" basket is the most versatile accessory for all of your cycling and storing needs.

I really liked the basket. I liked the way it was easy to install and the size of the basket, and how easy it is to remove it from its carrier. But I discovered that my bike's geometry did not work well with this basket. The handlebar stem on my bike is too short and it made the basket. Stick out at a strange angle. That made it feel heavier than it was. I have some other bikes and it would have worked fine on them if they needed a basket, but they didn't. I don't know how you figure out if your bike has the right geometry but if your handlebar stem is fairly long and angles out over your front wheel, it will probably be great for your bike. If you have a short stem that does not angle out, it puts the basket at an odd angle and makes it have weighting issues. I was trying to put it on my ebike. You can see from the photos that the light is in the way, but that could be moved down to right above the tires. That was really not an issue. If you look at the picture with the blue arrows, you can see one arrow is straight-up-and-down. The other arrow is the angle of the basket, which is really quite tipped on my bike. On my husband's bike the handlebars angle out in such a way that it would have been fine for his bike, but he doesn't want a basket.

They will not support their products Have been using the bicycle basket we’ve purchased for 60 days now, and we are out of the return window and the basket has severe defects where the well joints break in the basket falls off the front of the bike that can potentially cause a serious or fatal accident. I can’t get anybody to respond.

I love this basket and use it almost every day. It is very easy to use and install, and it is a great size and shape. It fits well onto my bike, and the basket is super easy to take on and off of the mount. It’s really handy when grabbing a few groceries or for carrying your lunch or a jacket. I saw some people saying they had issues with the basket falling off of the mount when going over large bumps. I also had this issue, but I was able to resolve it by placing bungee cords in an X across the top to both secure the handles to the basket and prevent items in the basket from bouncing out. I do have two issues with the basket. First, the basket broke in two paces after only two weeks of use when I went over a sudden bump in the road. The two parts that broke were both on the mount. One part is a piece of fabric with Velcro which secures the mount to the bike frame, and the seam on the fabric completely tore when I went over the bump; I was able to fix this easily using zip ties. The other part is a metal support bar on the mount which became disconnected at the join (this can be seen in the attached image). I have not yet figured out a way to fix this, so when I use the basket now I have to hold the basket with my left hand to make sure it doesn’t wobble all over the place. After the mount broke I weighed the basket and it’s contents to see if it was over the advertised 15 pound weight limit, but all together everything weighed 13.5 pounds. I wouldn’t recommend putting more than 10 pounds in the basket if you want to be on the safe side. My other issue with the basket is simply that when full, it blocks the lower beam of light from my headlight, making it harder for me to see at night, and the design of the basket doesn’t let me attach my headlight to the front of the basket.

Would definitely buy again! It is the perfect size to carry a picnic lunch and water bottles (I carry 3 with me- lunch and water for 3), and it’s very sturdy. I bought it to go on my e-bike, and it fits perfectly.

I bought the Retrospec Apollo Bike Basket for my daughter, who's starting college this fall, and it's been a game-changer for her campus commute! She loves the classic look of the basket—it adds a bit of vintage flair to her bike, which she pairs with modern gear. But beyond just the aesthetics, this basket is incredibly practical. It’s surprisingly spacious, easily fitting her textbooks, a water bottle, and even a light jacket for those unpredictable weather changes. The sturdy construction ensures that it doesn't wobble or sag, even when she has a heavier load. Installation was a breeze—took her all of 10 minutes, and she was ready to go. The basket stays securely in place, which was one of my main concerns. Plus, the handle is a nice touch, making it easy to carry when she wants to take it off the bike and bring it into class or the library. Overall, this has been a fantastic purchase. It’s made her daily rides so much more convenient and stylish. If you’re looking for a durable, functional, and chic bike basket, the Retrospec Apollo is an excellent choice!

The Reason for Selection: I am converting my old 1990s mountian bike to a errand runner The Good: The basket and hardware are of good quality The Bad: Nothing bad. The Ugly: The design of the mounting hardware is flawed General observations: The basket dimentions is what is indicated on the listing. It is big enough for a moderatly full bag of groceries. Either the installation instructions need to be better or the design needs to be a lot better for the quick mounting hardware. As soon as I put in 10 pounds of cargo, the stabaliser arm collapsed. It didn't dump the contents but the bottom of the basket made contact with the head stem tube. The velcro securing strap also came and lost it's mounting place on the stem tube. In order to fix, I used some tie wraps to give the mounting hardware the support it needed to not buckle under the weight of cargo. For the price point, it is an ok solution for a small handelbar basket. I would prefer to have more secure hardware on the bike mounted quick release portion. There is a chance that there is a better way to install the hardware, but the installation instructions did not really address much in terms of specifics. I won't send it back for a refund, but I would also not purchase again. Value for Price: From my perspective and experience, the price of $26.99 is Fair.

A great choice for my daughter's bicycle! My daughter had a plastic smaller basket that was much smaller and unstable due to lack of support so we started shopping for a larger more sturdy basket for her bike. Came across this basket and thought it would fit the bill. Reviews were mainly positive and we ordered it. Install was pretty simple, it comes with a support that mounts to the handle bars with some hooks but the key is the 2nd support for the lower part of the basket. The support helps keep the basket up right, which is key, otherwise the basket leans to far and items can spill out... or at least that was the case with a previous basket on my daughters bike. Once the support is installed, which didn't require any tools, then you simply slide the basket on the bottom supports then lock it in place at the top. Once on the basket is secure in that it won't be falling off but also won't be moving around too much to cause an issue with the items in the basket. I like how deep it is and wide as well. A neat feature is the metal mesh at the bottom which makes carrying the very small items easy so they don't fall out through the gaps. How much weight can it hold... not sure but in this case for what my daughter needs it for it will do the job. I would recommend this basket for anyone looking to get a quality basket for their bike.

This basket works awesome for quick grocery runs. The basket locks onto a holder that attaches to the bike handlebars. When you go shopping, you lift the basket out, put your groceries in, then when you're done it's easy to reattach to the holder. Feels secure. Installation was easy but I do wish they had included instructions with it. I went online and found them but I didn't think it was obvious at first how the holder installed or the bike attached. Now that I know how to do it, it's very simple. The other thing is the basket is fairly small. It's enough if you need to buy a couple things at the store but not enough for a full grocery run IMO. Maybe depends on your packing skills.
