Just thought I'd throw in my experience. I've been using zip ties to secure front baskets to front racks on my bikes for a number of years because one time I bought 400 zip ties at the hardware store, and I'd really like to use them all before I kick the bucket. I don't usually put anything that heavy in the baskets, but sometimes I do (camp fire logs, for instance). One time I was getting on my bicycle, and I noticed one of the zip ties attaching my basket to its rack had broken, so I reached into my saddle bag and pulled out a new one and secured it where the old one had been. That was roughly a year and a half ago, if memory serves. I always carry a few extra zip ties in my saddle bags because they weigh nothing and they've proven super useful over the years for fixing random roadside mishaps and getting me or a friend home without having to call for motorized help. And again, I've still got more than 300 zip ties to put to use. The clock is ticking!
