I stumbled across this in the U.S. outlet of the Chinese store Wal-mart a while back and thought I'd share it. I wasn't really looking for a basket at the time but this just seemed to be right in so many ways the first of which is the price $4.99 plus tax, license and dealer prep.
It opens easily and its dimensions are 13.5 inch X 18.5 X 1.75 folded 9 inches deep when unfolded. Solid bottom and the holes in the side are fairly small so loose items should stay in it. It weighs 1.75 pounds.What I like is it's low wind profile when not in use.
I'm off to attack the winter weeds before they go to seed. I'll speak of that later.

Topeak makes a folding basket. I don't think the Topeak one can fold while on the bike, weighs more, and costs about 20x as much. I guess that is why Topeak doesn't sell those click attachments separately from what they go onto.
We use these baskets a lot in Germany: there are small ones for shopping and heavy-duty ones for stuff like firewood too. Oddly enough I never saw one until I came here.
Good basket, I've carried one in my hatch back car for years.handy like hell.
