Bag a Basil bike basket

We think the number of bicycle baskets per 100 riders is a good indicator of how far cycling has evolved in any given area. The fact they're used on town bikes by people running errands demonstrates cycling as an unexceptional, inclusive and everyday activity – a world away from a sport. To promote this cycling utopia, we have a Basil wire basket to give away.

It’s little more than a simple wire basket with hoops allowing it to be hung on a luggage rack, but its distinctive milk bottle motif incorporated into its design make it a charming addition to any bike. The basket allows you to shop and then carry your shopping straight to your bike - doing away with the need for plastic bags.
