Ready to Roll Into a New School Year?

A new school year isn’t just about fresh stationery and clean exercise books — it’s about getting your daily routine sorted and starting as you mean to go on. And if you’d rather avoid packed buses or sitting in traffic, there’s no better way to get to lessons, lectures, or training than by bike.

This season, we’ve teamed up with Basil to bring you a back-to-school collection that’s as practical as it is stylish. Whether you’re cycling to college, heading into town, or making the daily trip to school, these baskets and bags are built to handle whatever the day throws at you.

 
Why Basil? Style Meets Strength
Basil has a reputation for blending Dutch cycling heritage with clever, modern design — perfect for UK riders who need kit that looks good and lasts. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Hard-wearing materials that stand up to daily use in all weathers.
  • Practical features like quick-release fittings and wipe-clean finishes.
  • Stylish designs that make your bike an extension of your look.
  • From roomy baskets that’ll take your sports kit and lunchbox, to sleek pannier bags that double as a tote for the shops, Basil has a solution for every kind of rider.

Made for Life on the Go
No two days are the same. You might be pedalling to school in the morning, stopping at the shops on the way home, or heading out to meet friends in the evening. Basil baskets and bags are designed for that stop-start, carry-everything lifestyle:

Versatile carry options – clip to your bike or sling over your shoulder.
Handy compartments for books, snacks, tech, and waterproofs.
Weather-resistant finishes to cope with those sudden UK showers.
