Bicycle baskets wicker

Whether you’re on a leisure ride, a shopping trip or even taking your dog on the bike for the first time, Basil has a basket to suit you. From rattan and leather to practical aluminium models, we’ve got something for everyone.

Front Baskets
A front basket is usually mounted on the handlebar and can carry a load of around 6kg, although some models have braces that extend to the hub bolt or tabs on the front fork. Overloading a front basket can cause problems as it could throw off the handling of the bike and the load could obstruct the rider’s vision.
