(More customer reviews)I just bought my second after a trial run with the first. So I guess I'm convinced they are worth the money.
Since these baskets are sold as singles as opposed to some that are only available in sets of two - I bought just one in case I had problems.
What I liked:
The size is convenient for a grocery bag. It's a little bigger than it needs to be, which makes things a little easier.
The wire mesh doesn't let small things drop through, but still drains water.
It's pretty strong. I packed it full of liquid filled containers (water, tea, soda, etc... maybe 25 pounds... enough to tip the bike) then road about a mile. I hit normal bumps (nothing huge mind you) and the basket held up without any problem at all.
When folded-up flat, there is just enough room left to store my "U" lock, which I have found quite delightful.
What could be improved:
The mounting hardware was designed for a bike rack with smaller diameter framing than I have (mine frame is 3/8" diameter). It looks like it is designed for 1/8" diameter frames, but might work on 1/4" (just guessing here.)
I had to mount the rack a little further back (about 2") to clear my heel when peddling. Not a huge problem but this puts the rack behind my rear light and so obstructs it slightly. It also puts the load on the rack off center where it is designed to support a load.Lastly, it detracts from the aesthetics of the bike more than it must.
The instructions for mounting the rack should be ignored.They will waste time, and provide no real help.

(More customer reviews)Fits great under my road bike saddle. Holds (barely haha) 1 innertube, hex wrench set, car keys. I just wanted to have an innertube with me since I ride by myself sometimes and this is great for that. If you want more stuff, just buy a bigger bag.

Product Description:
Burn calories and tone your entire body without leaving the home with the Weslo Momentum 630 Elliptical Trainer. The entry-level trainer boasts Weslo's creative Step-In design, which provides a lower base than other trainers, making it easy to get on and off the machine. As a result, the trainer is ideal for people who are rehabilitating from injury or who don't have the physical ability to easily hop on a traditional trainer. In addition, there's no need to manually step off the machine when you want to adjust the resistance; instead, you can quickly and easily adjust the difficulty of your workout with the touch of a button. And should you want a little workout variety, you can turn to the two personal trainer workouts, which automatically control the trainer's resistance level.
The trainer's LCD display tracks your speed, time, distance, calories, and more. The Momentum 630 also makes it easy to monitor your workout progress thanks to the scanning LCD display, which tracks your speed, time, distance, calories burned, fat calories burned, and pulse. Other features include an Easy Pulse heart rate monitor that keeps you in the ideal HR zone, a compact footprint that takes up a fraction of the floor space of other trainers, a 250-pound weight capacity, and comfortable oversized pedals. The Momentum 630 carries a 90-day warranty.
About Elliptical Trainers
Elliptical trainers represent the next wave of advancement in low-impact cardiovascular exercise machines and continue to grow in popularity. By simulating motions experienced through walking, stepping, cycling, and skiing, elliptical machines allow for a smooth and fluid motion while building strength in the arms and legs. Similar to the exercise position for treadmills, elliptical trainers are used by standing in an upright position while holding the handrails of the machine. With elliptical trainers, however, your feet remain in the foot pedals throughout the exercise regimen and circulate in a smooth and seamless motion, resulting in little to no impact on the knees, back, and hips.
Elliptical trainers are compatible for all ages and fitness levels and allow you to select the difficulty level through the incline and intensity settings. Additionally, elliptical trainers allow you to determine the complexity of your workout based on your needs, all while listening to music, watching television, or reading a magazine while exercising in the comfort and safety of your own home.
Although different types of elliptical trainers offer an assortment of features, many of them include an array of challenging programs, forward and reverse directional movement, EKG grip pulse handles, a lightweight portable design with easy fold-up capability, and a monitor displaying calories burned, distance, speed, time, and heart rate. Other types of exercise machines, namely treadmills and bikes, offer excellent cardiovascular exercise and muscular training for the legs in a forward-motion exercise. Elliptical trainers take this to the next level by offering an upper and lower body workout with dual motion, challenging and diverse programs, and a low-impact exercise machine that won't strain sensitive joints.

(More customer reviews)We recently purchased the Lund Cargo carrier and carrier side bar attachment. They were a great combination. Smaller than a trailer but big enough to carry all our camping stuff that would not fit in the car. To complement the two items a cargo net really helps.

(More customer reviews)These are great bags. They expand upwards 10 inches and the straps extend to keep the top tight. With cinch straps everywhere, nothing rattles around. Super heavy duty mounting bracket and straps. These babys stay put.
Also, the top covers have a zippered pouch and m.o.l.l.e. type webbing on top.
Perfect !
