Bobbin Bicycles Wicker Basket Support: Preserve the Medium, Tall and Cambridge Limits
Bobbin Bicycles wicker basket support depends on the named basket and size. In the manufacturer feed captured on 23 October 2026, the Allotment medium, Allotment tall and Cambridge entries give different dimensions and support advice. Keep their stated weight limits with those exact accessory records.
Compare Bobbin Bicycles wicker basket support by size
The Allotment basket is described as European wicker with two brown leather straps. Its medium version measures 36cm long, 29cm deep and 20cm high. The tall version is listed at 40cm long, 34cm deep and 25cm high. Tall therefore names a separate size, not simply a packing suggestion for the medium basket.
Bobbin states recommended weight limits of 3kg for medium and 4kg for tall/large. These are the manufacturer’s accessory recommendations in the dated record. They are not a combined bicycle payload, a rack rating or permission to carry a passenger. A different basket having similar dimensions does not inherit those figures.
Read the underneath-support advice beside the limit
For the medium Allotment, the record says no support is needed; for the tall version it recommends Front Carrier E. It explains that unsupported heavy loading stresses the wicker and reduces its lifespan. Preserve that distinction rather than shortening the description to all wicker baskets need no support.
Cambridge has its own entry. It measures 46cm long, 36cm deep and 27cm high, gives a recommended 4kg limit and says underneath support is needed, recommending Front Carrier E. The matching four-kilogram figure does not make Cambridge and Allotment tall the same basket or remove either item’s mounting requirements.
Ask about the bicycle as well as the wicker
The local Daytripper is a useful concrete bicycle identity for an accessory enquiry. The catalogue listing is Bobbin Bicycles Daytripper City Bike — Black.
Its name does not establish Front Carrier E compatibility. This source provides no completed Daytripper-and-basket installation approval. Ask the supplier to identify the actual basket size, appropriate support and bicycle combination before planning what it will carry. Keep the support recommendation and the permitted use together in the answer.
The historical red Birdie photograph shows wicker baskets in a historical bicycle arrangement. It helps explain Bobbin’s adult utility-bike context, but cannot certify the identity, installation or loading of a Cambridge or Allotment basket today. Use the named record and the actual equipment for that decision, rather than matching wicker colour or apparent size in a photograph.
FAQ
What limit is stated for the medium Allotment?
The dated accessory entry recommends 3kg for that size.
Does Cambridge need underneath support?
Yes. Its own entry requires it and recommends Front Carrier E.
Does a 4kg basket figure approve a complete bicycle load?
No. It is an accessory recommendation, not approval of the whole arrangement.
