Benefits of a bike crate
There are many benefits to riding around with a bike crate. They include:
What is Basil?
Hailing from The Netherlands, Basil is one of the world’s most respected bicycle carrier brands. Perhaps you won’t be surprised to hear this company was founded in the 1970s… The Basil range includes bicycle baskets, bike travel bags, cycling bags and, of course, pet carriers for your fur-friend co-pilot. The brand is known for its terrific quality and affordability. Certainly, when it comes to the Basil bike crate, they maintain standards for cool design, retro appeal and long-lasting durability. They also come with a very smart-looking logo plate embedded into the sidewall of the carrier (looks great but also helps make it obvious you didn’t steal this from a milk bar!).
How to attach a crate to your bike
The installation process is like the item itself - low-maintenance! Assuming your bike has a bicycle rack on the back of your bike, simply place the bike crate on the rear. Use the Basil crate mounting set to affix the item into place. If you want to take the basket down now and again, use an adapter plate. The Basil model is compatible with adapter plates from MIK, Racktime and AtranVelo. However, a reminder that you need to purchase adapter plates separately.
