The PDW Bodega Basket is an outstanding cargo solution for daily commuting or a quick stop at the local market. It's roomier than the Takeout Basket, giving you extra space for those impromptu late - night shopping sprees. Just like all Portland Design Works products, it's built to last. Constructed from a sturdy and lightweight butted aluminum alloy, this basket offers high - quality performance. It comes with a side slot to carry a u - lock and a light mount under the basket. The steadfast mounting bracket, made and engineered in Germany by Rixen & Kaul, allows it to fit handlebars ranging from 22.0 to 31.8mm. Fill it with a six - pack, snacks, ice cream, gummy candies, cat food, or dog treats and head out with ease. With a capacity to carry up to 7kg (15lbs), it's a reliable companion for your trips. The inside of the basket measures 230mm x 305mm x 127mm, and the inner dimensions of the bracket are 51mm wide and 31mm to the handlebar.
Using the Portland Design Works Bodega Basket is a breeze. First, find a suitable handlebar with a diameter between 22.0mm and 31.8mm on your bike. Attach the basket using the German - made Rixen & Kaul mounting bracket. Make sure it's securely fastened so it doesn't wobble while you're riding. When loading your items, distribute the weight evenly to keep your bike balanced. You can use the side slot to carry a u - lock, which is very convenient for locking up your bike. And don't forget you can mount a headlight under the basket for better visibility at night. As for maintenance, keep the basket clean by wiping it down regularly with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could scratch the aluminum alloy. If you notice any loose parts on the mounting bracket, tighten them up to ensure continued stability. Also, don't overload the basket beyond its 7kg (15lbs) weight limit to prevent damage.
