Basil Bottle Basket

Posted on September 23, 2011 by Lynn Posted in Accessories, Our Bikes | 3 Comments

My first commute to work made it glaringly obvious that I needed to get some baskets.  The problem was which ones.  I liked the idea of pannier bags and pannier racks, but I couldn’t find any I really loved until I stumbled upon Basil.  Basil is a company based in The Netherlands specializing in stylish bicycle baskets and accessories.  They have a lot of products that I really like and I have a feeling this will not be my last … →

My PUBLIC Bikes’ M3 – Mixte beginnings

I was like a kid on Christmas. I eagerly awaited FedEx to pull up with my new bike. Having tracked my shipment throughout the total of 6 days I waited for her, amazing if you ask me. I was a bit surprised to see FedEx just drop the box on our porch without need for signature or even ringing the doorbell. The driver was like a parcel ninja. The box arrived with minor wear and tear. I knew it had … →
