This basket is designed to be mounted on a rack. If you wanted to use it on your handlebars you would have make your own mount. You'd probably be better off looking for another basket, one made to mount on handlebars.

I would think so, the bottom part of this basket came with two long/flat attachments. But I already had something like this installed: Topeak Explorer Bike Rack

You do need a support in the back of the bike, because it attaches itself to it. This basket only attaches itself to the back, its not a front basket at all. Its a great product though, I had it for a year now, and its still super sturdy. Hope it helps, cheers! =)

I don't think that you can install it without a bike rack, and I don't know if they make an adaptor for handle bars. It seems a little big for the front handlebars.

It fits really well on a bike with a rear rack. The rack bags alone weren't enough to carry a week's worth of groceries. The bags haven't fallen off it yet thanks to the basket.

It is intended for a rack behind the seat, so you would need your own support system if you want to put it in front. Instead, you should buy a rack designed for the front. This works great for mounting on a rear rack, but I don't think I would try to modify it for the front.

You need to get a cross bar for the girl bike. Also it does not hold the bikes well in the supports, fyi.

We just have a metal boxspring frame hybrid. It depends on the kind of frame you have.

No. You'll have put the handlebars, brakes, etc together. I ended up taking it to sports authority and the finished it for me, although I'm not that handy.

You will need to get additional mounting brackets. I would recommend the Kettler Rear Bicycle basket. I replaced my Wald with the Kettler and could not be happier

Yes if you have a woman's bike you will need the bar that fits under your seat and attaches to the handle bar so that your bike can be mounted on the bike rack. I really like my bike rack

I checked the manual and it says no accessories or equipment (racks, etc) on rear that interfer with tow bar. Looking at it on my bike I agree it would not work. The bar is just above the wheel leaving no place for a rack.

No sure. I have not install anything besides what came on it. The wheels are road wheels. So you would have to replace tire and wheel. I you are wanting a wider tire. This bike is built like a road bike. The only thing that makes it a hybrid is the straight handle bar.

You have to purchase the bike racks separately. They mount on top of the carrier. If you just want a bike rack just buy them by themselves.

Here's the installation instructions for the reading rack:http://download.nautilus.com/supportdocs/misc/Schwinn/SCH.AD6.ReadingRack.IG.EN-FRC.pdfHere's the bike manual. Looks like the "console support bar" is what you're looking for. http://download.nautilus.com/supportdocs/AM_OM/Schwinn/SCH_AD6.AM.OM.EN.pdf

I drilled holes into the floor, inserted threaded sleeves that lay flush and then bolt the rack when needed. Be sure to use tie down straps and compress the front forks as far as possible. I didn't do this enough once and my bike broke loose and damaged my wife's tank with my handlebars.

You would need the bicycle bar I kmow Hollywood racks makes them and can be ordered on amazon. But unless you are attaching this stand to a wall it does not hold the bikes.

Yes, if you want your bike to be mounted perfectly horizontaly you will need to purchase a expansion bar ( not sure of proper name for it ) that creates a mounting surface like a mans bike, it extends from the seat mount to the handlebar mount. Thule makes them and can be purchased at most better bike stores. I believe it was about $35.00. I have seen womens bikes mounted without this bar but your bike is mounted very lopsided. I also use several bungee cords to also secure my bike to the mount so it does not sway. this is a great rack, easy to take off and on. I leave mine on all summer and take off in the winter and put my tire cover back on.

P.S. a cheap solution that works, since the Thule bike rack didn't work for my girlfriends small sized bike's is that I bought some heavy duty hook screws from the hardware store, screwed them into the garage walls beam and hung her bike's up that way. It totally works and is way cheaper.Just YouTube some videos on bike rack, and storage solutions.

You will need to set the wheel cradles with the Allen wrench to the proper width. Once this is done you can place the bikes on the rack and secure them with 3 straps--one for each wheel and one for the U-bar. The 4-bike rack is solid. It extends just a bit, but I like that the bikes do not swing or bump into each other once they are secured on the rack.

Just the handle bars. I mounted mine in the middle of the bars. For instance on the letter "T" it sits on the bottom part of the T. Hope this helps. You might want to order an extra mounting bracket as its a pain moving it from one bike to another.

No place to attach to the bike. You might be able to purchase a bracket or Velcro it to the handle bars.
