BASIL BICYCLE CRATE MEDIUM 29.5 L RECYCLED BLACK

Say goodbye to awkwardly balancing heavy shopping bags on your handlebars or enduring sweaty commutes with a heavy backpack. The Basil Bicycle Crate Medium provides a spacious, stable, and incredibly stylish way to transport your belongings. Manufactured in the Netherlands, this crate features a generous 29.5-litre capacity that strikes the perfect balance between cargo volume and bike stability, ensuring it stays nimble through busy city streets.

Engineered with environmental responsibility in mind, the crate is constructed from post-consumer waste plastic (regranulate). This sustainable manufacturing process does not sacrifice performance; it actually creates an exceptionally robust and weather-resistant chassis capable of handling the daily bumps and grinds of urban riding. It also features an eye-catching, contrasting crate clip that helps your bike stand out in crowded parking lots.

The crate is designed with a highly versatile, multifunctional bottom profile. This layout makes it universally compatible with major mounting hardware, allowing you to choose between a permanent setup using the Basil Crate Mounting Set or a quick-release configuration by attaching an adapter plate from MIK, Racktime, I-Rack, MonkeyLoad, or Atran Velo.

Why This IS For You

✅ Eco-Conscious Commuters: Perfect if you want a rugged, high-capacity storage solution made from sustainable, recycled materials.

✅ Multi-Bike or Multi-Accessory Users: Ideal if you use the MIK or Racktime systems and want to click the crate on and off your bike in seconds.

✅ Everyday Utility Riders: Excellent for students and shoppers who want to get heavy, awkward loads off their backs or handlebars.

Why This May NOT Be For You

❌ Narrow Front Racks: If you intend to mount this to a very slim, minimalist front porteur rack, the medium footprint may overhang too far.

❌ Security Without Plate Systems: If you use the standard fixed zip-tie/bolt kit instead of a locking MIK system, the crate cannot be easily removed to prevent theft.

❌ Weather-Sensitive Cargo: The open-crate design provides excellent ventilation but offers no protection against heavy rain unless paired with a waterproof cover.

BFC PRO TIP

If you are using this crate on a front rack, pick up a cheap elasticated cargo net to keep inside. Because the crate has an open-top design, riding over speed bumps or hitting potholes can cause lighter items like jackets or small parcels to bounce out. Hooking a cargo net across the top ensures everything stays locked down, no matter how rough the road gets!
