    K I know this will make some of you hardened cyclists laugh but on the bike I am about to buy will have a basket as did my old one, I had trouble attaching a light to the front of the bike as only have limited handle bar space.

    Does anyone know a light that can clip onto a basket? I was using a head torch wrapped around the basket.

    Thanks

    Some of the cheaper brands(not cateye) have clips on the back of the lights, so they will slide on and off.

    Im sure you could get a standard set to mount around the handle of a wicker basket if you got extra spacers;)

    Do you have space below the basket?

    Minoura do a bracket which is explicitly designed to bolt onto a basket and to hold up to two lights. You can see it here:
