Perfect for a stroll through a neighborhood fruit/veggies street market or even a lovely picnic in the park. These NT pannier baskets are an excellent combination of great looks and functionality.The size is quite generous! They’re sturdy and surprisingly deep enough for a family size bag of Lays Potato Chips and a gallon of water or a couple of bottles of wine. I carry a family size beach blanket, book and umbrella in one of the baskets and all items fit perfectly.The handle makes them portable and lays flat on the rim of the basket when not in use. There are also 2 hooks covered in a thickly coated plastic located on the back. These simply sit on the back of the bike’s cargo rack. They slide a little when riding, but nothing out of the ordinary since I don’t ride that fast (LOL). Since they’re super easy to put on the bike I’d be quite concerned about leaving them unattended especially in a heavily trafficked city park so I wish there was a way to secure them to the bike should you opt not to carry.The only other downside is that they are not water proof so you would have to remove these if you leave your bike uncovered. The upside however, is how these baskets transform any bike into something extra special. I always receive a ton of compliments about them. Love!
