I have done this. It takes at least a half dozen ties to get the job done. I also found it helpful to under warp the basket with old pieces of HB tape, which gave the wire more heft to secure the velcro tightly.
My next project with a bike involves putting cable connectors at each coupler on the tandem, so that when I disconnect them ( as I did this week to put the bike in the Prius and head out to Chincoteague) I can simply wrap a piece of velcro around the tube and cable, rather than having to coil and tie off the cables.
