Is this basket good for racing bikes?

This is a big basket but not nearly big enough to carry around a racing bike.

If you want to carry lots of stuff - consider this a granny's basket. there are others more suitable i think

There are always was of attaching a basket, this comes with a lot of hardware options, usually it all just fits together, sometimes I needed to bend some of this hardware to make it fit and sometimes I needed to provide my own bolts to match the nut/treads already on the frame near the rear axle or near the seat post... I have installed this type of basket on more than 8 bikes...

There is a small hole in the front forks that could be used to help mount a basket. But it really isn't ideal on this type of balance bike.

I feel better about having a front basket. rear baskets can make you feel like you will fall over if anything back there shifts. I personally love the wald 157 bike basket, its huge. not for suspension bikes though

You are better off going for a rack basket combo from one manufacturer. I have a universal rack and this basket slides right in. Note that these dont click into place but slide in so the weight of what you are carrying actually secures it better.

I bought a rack at the same time and it went right on no problems. I did have a bike with separate bolt holes on the frame for finders and a rack. Clearance was not a problem. You might have to get longer bolts if you only have one hole set for both fenders and rack. With 1/2" elevation difference in the bike mounting holes, I still have 1" between the fender and the bottom of the rack. I cannot answer about the baskets.

I have never done that with the basket and it is not mentioned in the directions that it can be used that way. However, I suppose that it could be secured to a rear bike rack somehow. One would have to figure out a safe way to attach it since there are no tie downs specifically for that purpose.

I have a Murry that it mounted on NP but I also have a Fuji racing bike that it didn't fit. I think most low to mid range bikes have a standard seat post that it will fit on ....

None. I use it for that purpose 95% of the time. I store my sons BMX race bike on it.

we use ours for road bikes but it is super sturdy I am sure it would hold BMX with no problem

I bought it for a friends bike that I was setting up for him. It seemed plenty sturdy and well made, however I would not recommend for extreme mountain biking etc!

YES!! Definitely. This was omitted/outlawed from some races because it is said that it is too fast. I love mine. It is an AWSUM BIKE.

I would not recommend. It's a great basket for everything else. I would look for one that is designed for dogs and with a cover for safety

you can attach this basket to any kind of bike with any type of upright handlebars or straight bars or riser bars as long as you have enough open area at the center of your handlebar for the upper clamps of the basket to attach there. basically you need about 3-4 inches of straight exposed handlebar (without any obstructions such as bells, shifters, brake levers, lights, etc.) in either direction away from the stem. I've installed this basket on multiple bikes with upright cruiser handlebars and it works just fine. If you have a lot of cables housings that are extending far past your handlebar such brake housing/cables and shifter housing/cables you might have to fiddle around with those to get them routed in the best way.

Yes but you will probably need to install an aftermarket bracket to install the basket of your choice.

I'm not certain, but a front basket for me has worked well, especially if something shifts in my basket, I can see it and readjust before becoming unstable.

I would say no. I used it for a couple of Honda dirt bikes and it did not seem stable. I ended up selling it and buying a small trailer instead.
