Put a front or rear rack on the bike and zip-tie the basket to the rack. On the front, this will put the basket lower and out of the way. If you need to use the rack for panniers, you can easily cut off and reinstall the zip-ties.

I will give you a little advice. Roadies look for ways of taking weight off of the bike not adding more to it. The reaction you will get here is similar to asking how to strap bricks on your carbon fiber frame. The only thing I would even consider on a road bike would be a seatpost rack.

Rear rack and milk crate zip tied to it is the way to go.
