BASIL BICYCLE CRATE MED - 29.5L

The Basil Bicycle Crate Medium is a simple way to add useful open storage to your bike. With 29.5 litres of space, it is a good size for groceries, school bags, work gear, jackets, locks and the everyday bits that are awkward to carry on your back.

It is a good middle size for town riding. Big enough to be useful, but not as bulky as a large crate. For quick shops, school runs, errands and local trips, it gives you an easy place to drop things in and get moving.

Why we like it

A crate is one of the easiest ways to make a bike more useful. You do not need to unpack a pannier, open buckles or wear a backpack. Just drop your gear in and ride.

The medium size is the main appeal here. It gives you useful carrying space for day-to-day jobs without making the bike feel overloaded. On a commuter, city bike, e-bike or cargo setup, it is a practical upgrade for short local trips.

Best for

Choose this crate if you want easy open storage for everyday riding. It suits grocery runs, school drop-offs, work gear, extra layers, locks and general town use.

Choose a pannier or waterproof bag instead if you regularly carry a laptop, paperwork or gear that needs proper weather protection.

Good to know

This crate does not include the MIK adapter plate. If you want a removable MIK setup, add the Basil MIK system separately.

Check your rack or carrier before fitting. The crate needs to be mounted securely, and the bike or carrier must be rated for the load you plan to carry. The lowest-rated part of the setup sets the real carrying limit.

This is open storage, so it will not keep your gear dry in the rain. For wet commutes, use a waterproof bag inside the crate or choose a sealed pannier instead.
