Nantucket Bike Baskets are a well-known brand specializing in high-quality, stylish, and functional baskets for bicycles. They’re especially popular for their classic New England look and handcrafted design, often made from natural materials like rattan and willow. Here’s a breakdown of what makes them stand out:
🔹 Key Features:
Materials: Most baskets are made from woven rattan, willow, or cane, which gives them a traditional, charming appearance. They also offer metal and canvas options for a more modern or rugged look.
Mounting Options:
Front baskets: Typically attach to handlebars with leather straps or metal hooks.
Rear baskets: Mount on rear racks or via quick-release systems.
Variety of Styles: From petite flower-delivery-sized to large grocery haulers, they have styles for both casual cruising and practical commuting.
Weather Resistance: Many are treated with a protective coating to resist moisture and UV damage—though they’re best stored inside when not in use for longevity.
🔸 Popular Models:
Cisco Collection: One of their most popular lines, made from thick rattan cane. Great for beach cruisers.
Tuckernuck Collection: Heavier-duty baskets with a flat base—great for carrying more weight.
Dover Collection: Metal wire baskets with a vintage flair, great for rainy or rugged conditions.
🔹 Why Riders Love Them:
Aesthetic Appeal: They pair beautifully with vintage or cruiser bikes—perfect for scenic rides around places like Kennebunk or Nantucket itself.
Functional & Durable: They're not just pretty—they’re solid enough to carry groceries, farmers' market hauls, or beach day essentials.
Easy to Use: The strap-on and hook-on mounting systems are simple and don’t require tools.
