Using the Basil Boheme City Bag is super easy. When you're cycling, attach it to your handlebar using the appropriate holder (sold separately). If you want to carry it off the bike, simply detach the strap and use it as a shoulder bag. For safety, make sure the reflective details are visible when cycling at night. When it comes to maintenance, wipe the bag with a damp cloth if it gets dirty. Since it's water - resistant, it can handle light rain, but try to avoid submerging it in water for long periods. Keep it in a dry place when not in use to extend its lifespan.
