Which bag is right for you?

This type of riding typically calls for lightweight handlebar and frame bags that attach super securely with good weather protection.
Check these out to help you choose a bike bag:

• At just four ounces, the Willis Stem Bag features a one-handed drawstring and adjustable 3-point Fixi-Strap® attachments to get a secure fit whether you attach to the left or right of your handlebar stem. The Willis boasts extra external pockets to secure your keys, cash and cell phone. Need more storage? The Willis can be used alongside a handlebar bag.

• Big enough to carry it all without the added weight. The Domino Handlebar Bag is just right for the days when you need a place to stash some layers after you warm up or you need more than just an energy bar to keep going.

These types of trips generally call for a safe way to carry your laptop, books, chargers, and other items for a productive day, and should be easy to take on and off your bike and carry with you. Both of these bags require a rear rack.

• The Bedford Backpack Pannier is perfect for this category! It protects your laptop, organizes your gear, and converts from sturdy pannier to comfy backpack in seconds thanks to the super strong Fidlock® magnetic buckles.

• The Katy Bike Trunk Bag sits atop the rear rack, fits a tablet with organization pockets for your chargers, and a water bottle pocket and converts to a crossbody bag off the bike.

Spending an afternoon peddling around and exploring your area by bike is a ton of fun! On these kinds of rides, you’ll likely be bringing some personal items, some basic bike maintenance items should you get a flat while out and about, and maybe a sack lunch.

Easy access handlebar bags
