Using the Basil Bloom Field handbag is a breeze. First, if you want to attach it to your bicycle, you have several options. You can use the pre - mounted KF adapter plate and buy the KF handlebar holder (sold separately) to attach it to the front handlebars. This way, the bag will be visible from the front. Or, you can simply use the pre - mounted hooks to hook it onto the rear carrier. If you have an MIK - compatible carrier, buying an MIK adapter plate allows you to mount it as a trunkbag. When you're not using it on the bike, just use the detachable shoulder strap to carry it over your shoulder. As for packing, make sure to place your wallet, keys, and phone in the main area, and use the padded pocket for your tablet. Since the bag is waterproof, you don't have to worry about light rain. But try to avoid submerging it in water for a long time. For maintenance, wipe it clean with a damp cloth regularly to keep the hand - painted floral print looking fresh. If there are any stubborn stains, use a mild soap and water solution, then dry it thoroughly before using it again.
