I pedal for enjoyment but I also use my bike for utility. Groceries, commuting to work, and dinner take-out are the primary utility purposes for riding my bike. The baskets make this possible. I enjoy a quick removable basket on the front so it is also available as a shopping basket. On the rear rack, I have zip-tied a large basket. The two baskets allow me to distribute the load when commuting with items for work and for hauling multiple bags of groceries.
For heavier loads, use a basket that attaches more permanently to the bike frame. Many front baskets attach to the wheel axle with basket stays. This can also be a good choice. Front baskets can be easier than rear baskets to install but with heavier loads, both a front and a rear basket may be necessary.
Remember... biking is fun but biking with accessories is even more fun.
