Portland Design Works Bodega Front Basket

The basket is highly versatile and includes mounting hardware designed to fit handlebars ranging from 22.0mm to 31.8mm in diameter, covering most standard urban and commuter bike setups.

The Bodega is rated for a maximum load of 15 lbs. It is designed for lighter, everyday essentials like a lunch bag, groceries, or a small backpack rather than heavy-duty cargo.

Yes, the basket features an integrated mounting point specifically designed for a front light. This ensures your light remains unobstructed and visible to traffic even when the basket is loaded.

The integrated slot is designed to securely hold most standard-sized U-locks. However, if you use an extra-large or heavy-duty oversized lock, it may not fit snugly in the designated slot.

Because the Bodega is made from lightweight aluminum and mounts directly to the handlebars, it is designed to keep the center of gravity stable. While you will notice a slight difference in steering feel when fully loaded, its compact dimensions are intended to minimize impact on your bike's handling.

The basket is removable, though it is designed as a semi-permanent fixture. You can take it off when needed, but it is not a quick-release system, so it is best suited for riders who plan to keep it on the bike for the majority of their commutes.
