Has anyone attached this to a schwinn beach cruiser rack? I wonder if bungee cords would work to affix it.

Heavy duty zip ties would work...just use a lot of them to make sure it is secure. I used the hardware that came with the basket, but I still added a few zip ties for extra stability.

I'm not sure exactly which rack you're referring to. Unless it's really unusual, the included hardware ought to work. It's very accommodating, and rock solid. Speaking from experience, I would not recommend using bungee cords to attach the basket to your rack. You'd be better off with zip ties or some other rigid form of attachment. These baskets are large and the torque they can apply when turning or leaning over can pull the cords right off ... and then you're left picking up your groceries in the middle of the road. I do keep bungee cords to strap down a jacket, skateboard or other large objects. The basket is big and strong and can easily handle a lot of cargo, provided it doesn't blow or tip out as you ride.

A bicycle with 20" tires is best because the basket is tall and will fit under the seat, unless you're short!

I'm going to assume you're talking about the Schwinn Beach Cruiser at Walmart which seems to be where most people buy their bicycles these days. The rack comes with everything you'll need to install it properly but you can use zip ties if needed. As previously stated, never use bungees to secure anything, for an over dramatic view of that look no further than the Allstate "Mayhem" commercial pertaining to bungees. But I digress. Like I said, you won't need anything to secure it to the rack as it comes with everything you need and you can set it far enough back that it will not interfere with your seat.

I wish that this item would have worked with my frame configuration, but it didn't. However, this thing is built so strong that it would hold up a Harley dresser. Haven't found one yet to work with my Japanese 10 speed bike with an 80cc motor attached. Just gotta chain it to a tree or sign post. Still looking though! Wish that I could help ya out more, but that's all that I know. Mark.

I think that based on most front fenders I see, it might interfere. That said, I love the rack, and if I wasn't in love with the bike fenders, I would take them off to accommodate the rack.I feel I should add to this.... The manufacturer doesn't suggest that you tie off the back of the bike...but I bungee mine for added support...

I would think it will work. The only issue maybe, what appears to be the black thumb screw used on the side of the detachable bike rack, may be in the way of placing the baskets on each side. Just a thought.

I would bet that it will.... You can adjust the entire rack up or down , depending on where you hook the bungee cords to the rack.... I love mine, although it's a pretty safe bet you'll need to buy some extra bungees to secure it further, I used two extra bungees ......

You should be able to attach the bungee to the lower horizontal tube on the rack.

I was able to mount mine and my daughter's without a problem. I love this bike rack. Best thing we have bought in a long time.

Good day, our racks were made to be compatible with most panniers out on the market, pending that they attach to the side rails of a rack. Thank you and have a great day!

It absolutely should not do that and it is dangerous (potentially deadly) to rely only on that strap. Is your rack properly mounted? It almost sounds like the front of it is not anchored to your bike frame. If you are unsure, please, PLEASE take your bike to a bike shop/mechanic before you ride with a child in there.

I suppose you can get an adapter to do so-------that would cause the rack to be extended out further and not sure that is a good idea. I also think that it might wobble around a bit unless you could get a bolt through connection.

Hi! Unfortunately this rack will not fit on the bike you are referring to. Thanks.

To me this seems like something you would mount on the handle bar. Otherwise, duct tape works wonders. :)

Yes. I have saddle bags on my rack but pannier bungee hooks will attach to this rack.

I have three of these racks, all of them supporting heavy "beach cuisers" in vertical positions. I would suggest mounting the rack at a height that allows the bike to rest on the rear tire, thereby taking some of the weight off the rack. This has kept a lot of stress off the rack(wall) as well as the front wheel. I've not had any visible damage to any of my front wheels.

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.
