A basket assembly for a bicycle or the like, said assembly comprising: an L-shaped carrier rack having a substantially horizontal bottom portion and an upstanding rear portion, said rear portion including a pair of upwardly convergent, laterally spaced, frame members; a basket having front, rear, side and bottom walls defined by a circumferential top frame, a circumferential center frame, and two sets of U-shaped webs the upstanding legs of which are fixedly secured to said top and center frames for defining the upstanding front, rear, and side walls of the basket and wherein the bottom of said U-shaped webs define the bottom wall of the basket, hook-defining means projecting from the rear wall of the basket, said hook defining means including terminal portions spaced laterally and disposed in spaced relationship with respect to said center frame of said basket, each said terminal portion of said hook defining means opening toward the other spaced terminal portion and being slideably engageable with the upwardly convergent frame members of the rack as the basket is lowered onto the rack whereby the downward movement of the basket relative to the rack is limited by a wedging action between the hook defining members and the upwardly convergent frame members so as to dispose the bottom wall of the basket in overlying relationship with the horizontal bottom portion of the rack; and latch means depending from the bottom wall of the basket for pivotal movement between latched and unlatched positions relative to the bottom portion of the rack, said pivoted latch being required to overcome the resiliency of one of the latch elements in order to move from latched to unlatched position or from unlatched to latched position, said latch means when in latched position engaging the horizontal bottom portion of the rack for anchoring the basket to the rack and insuring against displacement therefrom.
