PVC and Milk Basket Bike Basket

Step 7 Some Pipe Insulation for Aesthetics Mostly

Done, now I can fetch veggies and other things.

Removal will be simple.

Unscrew screws and remove seat and lift off.

It's quite sturdy.

Thanks, this looks good! But how sturdy do you think it is really? I plan to commute to and from school on it, which is about 6 miles; if I were to put about 8 - 12 pounds worth of text books in it, would I have to fear the basket falling apart mid ride?

But i think if you go the DIY route its about as sturdy as you make it.. the PVC won't break until higher weights I dont think, more ti would be making sure the screws wont come loose(happened to me) or that you use a strong sealant

if you are worried about that, consider purchasing a metal bike rack (~30$ for me) that has a high weight rating! I bought one that can do up to 35 lbs I think.. (I have a boombox that I strap onto it)
