Using your Basil MIK Bike Crate is easy. First, use the MIK system to install the crate on your bike. It should fit snugly and securely. When loading, distribute the weight evenly to keep your bike balanced. For the 29.5L crate, you can load groceries, books, or other small items. The 40L crate can handle larger loads like sports equipment or a small pet carrier. Just make sure the pet is safe and comfortable. When removing the crate, simply use the MIK system again. As for maintenance, clean the crate regularly with a mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the recycled materials. Store the crate in a dry place when not in use to prevent rust and wear.
