The eternal bike question, finally answered! Having used both front and back baskets on my bike over the years, I've mused about the pros and cons of each style a lot. So I decided to finally put a little rigor to those musings and did a series of tests to detemine if it's better in your urban bike life or bicycle commute to haul your stuff in a basket on the front of your bike, or the back. Here are the tests:
