Basil Bicycle Crate M is a 27-litre bike basket made from recycled synthetic material, designed for mounting on either the handlebars or the rear rack. Its neutral brown finish and rectangular shape provide a practical, low-profile carrying solution for everyday city use. The crate combines a lightweight build with robust construction to hold groceries, work items or personal belongings while cycling.
Advantages
The crate’s recycled synthetic construction offers a balance of durability and environmental consideration while remaining easy to clean. With a 27L capacity it fits typical shopping bags and commuting items without adding excessive bulk. The design supports mounting on the front or rear, increasing flexibility for different bicycle types and rider preferences. The brown finish is understated and integrates well with a variety of bike styles.
Suitable for
- Commuters carrying a change of clothes, laptop sleeve or lunch
- Shopping trips with room for multiple grocery bags
- Errands and short urban trips requiring secure, open-top storage
- Riders who prefer a removable crate that can be taken off the bike
When it may not be suitable
This crate is not intended for carrying very heavy loads repeatedly; while durable, its synthetic construction and mounting method are best suited to moderate weights typical of daily shopping or commuting. It does not provide weatherproof sealing, so contents may be exposed to rain unless covered with additional protection.
Key specifications

- Material: recycled synthetic material
- Mounting: designed for front (handlebar) or rear rack mounting
- Color: brown

How to use
Attach the crate to your handlebar or rear rack using the compatible mounting hardware or rack adapter suitable for your bicycle model. Place items evenly inside the crate to maintain balance, and secure loose items with straps or bungee cords if necessary. For removal, release the mounting latches or fasteners and lift the crate off the bike; the lightweight construction allows for easy carrying to and from the store.
What to consider before purchase
- Check that your handlebars or rear rack are compatible with the crate’s mounting system or available adapters
- Consider the typical weight and size of items you plan to carry to ensure the 27L capacity meets your needs
- Assess whether you need additional waterproofing or a cover for protection in wet conditions
- Confirm that the crate’s dimensions fit your bike and do not interfere with steering or lights
Usage recommendations
For balanced handling, load heavier items low and centered in the crate and secure loose objects. Regularly inspect mounting points and fasteners for wear, and clean the recycled synthetic material with mild soap and water to maintain appearance.
