Wald 582 Folding Rear Bicycle Basket

Wald, a manufacturer of bicycle baskets, racks, and fenders, offers simple solutions to a complex global problem, enabling users to contribute to a better world. The installation of a Wald bicycle basket allows individuals to transport items, such as gallons of milk, without relying on gas-guzzling vehicles, thereby reducing their carbon footprint.

Wald's commitment is to provide products that can be utilized by the majority of cyclists, enhancing their bicycles' functionality. The primary challenge faced by the company is the lack of a universal standard, as bicycles from various manufacturers may differ in their dimensions, despite their similar appearances.

While Wald believes its products can be installed by most users, the company recommends having a local bike shop handle the installation at the time of purchase, ensuring a seamless and proper integration.

Interestingly, the company's history reveals that the bicycle basket was not its first invention. Instead, it started with a bicycle tire repair tool. However, Grandpa Ewald and Uncle Herman soon recognized the potential impact of the bicycle basket and decided to pursue this new direction.

The decision to move on from the little shop in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, where the Wald Cycle Company was founded, was driven by the brothers' desire for growth and greater aspirations. The people of Sheboygan had a strong affinity for their two-wheeled citizens, but Grandpa and Uncle Herman sought to expand their business and introduce new product ideas.

Wald's rear bicycle basket, with its ample storage space, mounts unobtrusively on the side of the rear bicycle rack, offering a load size of 12.75x7.25x8 inches. The basket folds up compactly (1 inch thick) for easy storage when not in use and is available in silver, black, or white to suit various preferences.

By offering these practical and versatile solutions, Wald aims to empower cyclists to make a positive contribution to the environment and their communities, while also inviting them to be an integral part of the company's enduring legacy.
