It mounts unobtrusively on the side of your rear bicycle rack and folds compactly for easy storage. Crafted from solid steel, it is durable, weather-resistant, and perfect for both commuting and weekend market trips. ## Description About Swagman "Ride, paddle, explore: seek your adventure" That philosophy was the intention of founders Jim and Jan Morris who saw an opportunity to create a better way to transport your bike back in the early 90’s. Swagman was one of the first companies worldwide to design and market a hitch style bike rack. Over the years, that small bike rack company based in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia grew to include numerous other ground breaking designs in the North American Bicycle, RV and Automobile markets. Review: Folds flat, no rattle, huge baskets, sturdy, exactly what I wanted for bigger trips to grocer - The baskets are good and well constructed. It did take me about 40 minutes to install them and having access to my entire toolkit was helpful as I had to bend-out the mounting flanges to get them over the rack and the basket and then had to squeeze the flanges back into alignment to get them bolted-on. I used a bunch of hand tools, allen keys, 1/4 driver, etc to mount them. The zip ties are good quality, very thick. The baskets are big enough to hold two standard shopping bags (paper kind). My insulated shopping bags fit right in them. Good purchase! Review: Works fine, but metal joints are flimsy - This basket works fine for a middle schooler commuting back and forth from school. It was fairly easy to install on a bike rack, but hasn’t held up super well after a year. The metal links/hinges that hold it all together are made from a weak steel that deforms easily and lets the basket fall apart. It’s only been used for a year and already shows signs that it may not last another full school year under daily use. Definitely consider getting another product with beefier hinges if you’d like this to last for the longer term. In contrast, I had similar folding baskets (from another brand) that lasted me many years without failures like this ## Features - Rear bicycle basket with space for groceries, shopping or personal items and even small pets - Mounts unobtrusively on the side of rear bicycle rack - Folds up compactly for easy storage - Solid steel construction; durable, weather and rust resistant - Versatile and practical for commuting and weekend market shopping! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000YZCNPG | | Best Sellers Rank | #969,994 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #1,032 in Bike Baskets | | Brand Name | Swagman | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (176) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00776214809721 | | Item Weight | 0.5 Pounds | | Load Capacity | 11 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Swagman Bicycle Carriers | | Manufacturer Part Number | 80972 | | Material Type | Alloy Steel | | Model Number | 80972 | | Mount Type | Rack Mount | | UPC | 776214809721 787766622645 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Swagman - **Color:** Black - **Item Weight:** 0.5 Pounds - **Material:** Alloy Steel - **Mounting Type:** Rack Mount ## Images ![Swagman Fat Basket - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71OT9SCHQoL.jpg) ![Swagman Fat Basket - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Bncsvm4JL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Folds flat, no rattle, huge baskets, sturdy, exactly what I wanted for bigger trips to grocer *by G***T on April 17, 2020* The baskets are good and well constructed.

The baskets are awesome! The metal brackets are universal as they can’t expect to match every application. I bent them to work. I could have used the supplied zip-ties and that would have worked. The metal latch to keep them closed is wonky, but I got them to work. I read a review by a “mech engineer “ that couldn’t figure them out. They weren’t that hard. You need to be patient with opening and closing, but I love them. I carry a soft cooler w/12 beers on 1 side and beach towels/misc in the other. I also bungee 2 beach chairs on top. It transformed my bike into a hauling machine! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/11202973-swagman-fat-basket](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/11202973-swagman-fat-basket) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
