Basil Portland MIK Rear Basket – Black

The Basil Portland MIK Rear Basket is a removable rear basket for everyday riding, errands and small shops. It gives you a tidy place to carry a bag, jacket, groceries or work gear without wearing a backpack.

This version comes with a pre-mounted MIK Adapter Plate, so it can click onto a compatible MIK rear carrier or MIK Carrier Plate. That makes it easy to take the basket off the bike when you arrive, whether you are heading into the office, supermarket or café.

Why we like it

The Portland basket is a good everyday carry option because it is simple, useful and easy to remove. It has enough room for a small grocery stop, work bag, rain jacket or the bits you end up carrying around town.

The MIK system is the practical part. If your bike already has a MIK-compatible rear carrier, the basket can click straight on. If your carrier is not MIK-ready, you may need a MIK Carrier Plate fitted first.

The aluminium construction keeps the look clean and classic, while the detachable strap helps keep lighter loads more settled in the basket. It is a nice match for city bikes, commuter e-bikes and everyday bikes where the basket is part of the bike’s usefulness, not just a decoration.

Best for

• Commuters who want easy rear storage
• Small grocery trips and everyday errands
• Carrying a handbag, backpack, jacket or work gear
• Riders using a MIK-compatible rear carrier
• City bikes, step-through bikes and commuter e-bikes

Setup options

MIK carrier: If your bike has a rear carrier with integrated MIK profiles, the basket can click on using the included MIK Adapter Plate.

Standard carrier: If your rear carrier does not have integrated MIK profiles, you may need a MIK Carrier Plate. This is sold separately.

Everyday carry: Use it for a work bag, rain layers, a small shop or anything you want to keep off your back while riding.

Good to know

This is a rear basket, not a front basket. It mounts to a compatible rear carrier, so your bike needs a suitable rack setup before use.

Check the weight limit of your rear carrier and MIK setup before loading the basket. The lowest-rated part of the setup sets the real-world limit.

The basket is removable, which is useful for shopping and errands, but always make sure it is properly clicked into place before riding.

Final word

The Basil Portland MIK Rear Basket is a tidy, practical basket for everyday bike transport. Choose it if you want rear storage that looks good, carries the daily basics, and clicks on and off a MIK-compatible carrier with minimal fuss.
