Using this Basil Norland MIK bike basket is a breeze. First, find a suitable MIK rack on your bike, then click the basket onto the rack with the pre - assembled MIK adapter plate. It's easy to do and fits well on most bikes, even e - bikes. When you go shopping, just click the basket off the bike and carry it around. The rubber and cork handle makes it comfortable to hold. As for maintenance, keep it dry to prevent the steel from rusting and the bamboo from getting damaged. If it gets dirty, you can use a damp cloth to wipe it clean. Be careful when attaching and detaching the basket to avoid any damage to the MIK adapter plate. Also, make sure not to overload the basket beyond its 23 - litre capacity.
