Easy to use is what I need. Throw in a bag with a ton of stuff and go
Then get Wald rear baskets. Non-folding. Wald's basket page no longer works but it would be a 520, 535 or 570. Beware of the 535, it can come too far forward & hit your heels when you pedal. I think I use the 520 @ about $40.
I think mine is 42lbs with rear rack and bag. Rear Baskets weigh about 4lbs if I remember correctly.
Also a rear basket doesn't upset the balance the way a loaded front basket can.
