Bicycles with a front carrier

Front carrier

— carrier — a platform with a cargo mount — located above the front wheel. The advantage of this placement is that the luggage being transported is constantly in front of the cyclist's eyes. On the other hand, the front boot is actually fixed to the handlebar and turns with it; thus, the additional load can significantly complicate steering. Therefore, this feature is relatively rare, usually as an addition to the traditional (rear) carrier; the exception is touring models.
