FAQs

1. How To Mount Bicycle Crates?

Basil bicycle crates are designed to mount onto bikes easily. For maximum sturdiness and carrying capacity, combine a Basil Front Carrier with your bike crate. This also enables super easy attachment. For a secure semi-permanent fit you can consider using our crate mounting kit, or if you would prefer the ability to take the crate on and off the bike pairing your new crate with our MIK product adaptor will allow it to easily fit any MIK ready carrier or MIK carrier adaptor.

2. Will This Basket Fit My Bike?

Basil baskets are designed to fit as many different bike models as possible. However, feel free to contact our team, and we can help with your specific request.

3. How Do I Take Care Of My Basket?

Basil baskets are designed to withstand a lot of wear, tear and weather! But, that said, they are not made of kryptonite! So, to give your Basil baskets the very best care, we recommend removing them from your bike after each use and storing them somewhere dry. Our front baskets use the KF adaptor which allows you to easily do this, and for your rear baskets – consider using selecting our of our popular MIK solutions.

4. What Are The Advantages & Disadvantages of Bike Baskets?

Try as we might, we don’t think there are any disadvantages when it comes to bike baskets. On the contrary, they help make your cycling safer, reduce load-bearing on your body, enable you to carry so much more and keep your goods protected from the elements. Indeed, it’s more a question of what are the advantages and disadvantages of one model versus another. We’d be more than happy to talk about your specific query when it comes to answering that question, so why not contact our team.

5. What If The Crate I Received Is Incorrect Or Damaged?

This is an unlikely scenario; however, if your crate is incorrect or damaged, just contact us and arrange a return. If you would like to exchange an item, the quickest solution is to lodge a return request in your Basil Bags & Baskets Australia, and place a new order on our website. This circumvents potentially lengthy periods for shipping and processing, and ensure you get your new item as soon as possible. If you checked out as a guest, please get in touch with us and we will happily assist you!

6. Does Your Basket Or Crates Can Carry Dogs? If Yes, Is It Safe?

When it comes to dog-carrying baskets, the best model for you depends a lot on your fur friend and the type of traveller they are. For instance, a dog that won’t get distracted by what’s happening around will find a crate more than acceptable, no doubt. However, a dog prone to jumping out of its basket or at risk of falling out would do better in a Buddy Bicycle Rear Basket with a Buddy Spaceframe (open-air covering) add-on.
