What's best: A front or back basket on your bike?

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:

0:00 Introduction
1:02 The empty basket test
2:09 The grocery test
4:50 The weight test
7:04 The convenience test
7:53 The bounce test
9:05 The conclusion

Here’s the baskets I used in the video:
