HOr many ways Have you tried to carry things on a bike? If the bags’ installation on the resistance is to go to go, or you have tried to put a kind of Cord-Cord-Cord, it may be time to rethink your strategy.
I Once biking is five miles away with a vacuum cleaner in a template while the house moves – so I am guilty like anyone to improvise. But as a person was Writing about cycling For more than a decade, gathering throughout London and further in all the pollinators for a longer period, I must know – and now do – better.
The grandchildren work on light loads and short trips, but your body will thank you for investing in something that hangs on your bike if you carry more for a longer period.
Ideally, biking bags should be waterproof, although the external or internal dry bags are also an option. The reflective details are useful, and it is not necessary to ridicule the good appearance. It goes without saying that you want something hard and easy to use.
Whatever you think about the two -wheeled STEED, remember that your local bicycle store has a wealth of mechanical advice, services and spare parts, and you often use it (or lose it) as well.
Here are some of my favorite bicycle bags. You will never need to write a shopping bag again.
The best bags that Attach to Front
A spacious and waterproof bag
Final steering wheelbase
82 pounds in Ortlieb
81.60 pounds in Cyclessore
Lack of front shelf open the wheelbase options. Ortlieb Ultimate Bar is spacious, solid and waterproof, with anxious pocket and optional map. The steering wheel holder is quickly and lock, and there is a shoulder belt to carry it out of the bike. The downside: You cannot easily open the lid while riding a cycling.
Bag for Bombaton
Water -resistant bag in the town
190 pounds sterling in Brompton
190 pounds in John Lewis
One for brompton bike owners, this Water -resistant bag in the town Sections forward. “He can fit a lot, and he is completely waterproof,” says Brunton’s friend. Since 2021, Brompton came with Attachment of the front bag Pre -equipped.
Dutch -style box
Sido’s phase rack
basil cage basket, 29.5l
Vapor Fund basket, 34L
My Dutch friends swore from a plastic cage for something more stable than the wicker basket. This also means that you do not need a bike bag-only by throwing everything you carry on that day. Suit your box over the back Pannier rack, or do so in the Dutch method and buy a front shelf (for compatible flat steering bikes). If you are in doubt, ask the local bicycle store about your options – some bikes and ingredients are not compatible.
Almost a global shelf
Jack Rafh bike
79.99 pounds in full grain cycles
From 76 pounds in Sigma SPORTS
For something a little different, or if your bike does not have the bolts needed for the front shelter, this is an innovative part of the devices that easily attach to any bike (almost). You can then link your things as needed.
The best Panniers
Pannier bags only need to be fixed on the back (or sometimes the front) of the frame. Avoid – A single bag friend has such a way and sets up regularly, including my way while we ride. Some shelf clips can be brilliantly felt, and any equipment that needs to face heavy bags, frequent removal and regeneration.
Wonderful round
Body bike bag
150 pounds in Ortlieb
130 pounds sterling in Tredz
Ortlieb’s allime classic Back-Roller is a favorite and long-term company. He is a waterproof, is affected hard and has replaceable parts to extend her life more. If my long bags are anything you should go through, then it will be done It took more than a decade of difficult abuse, and perhaps two.
Pannier rack
From 140 pounds sterling in Tailfin biking
Pannier Bag is a super permanent
125 pounds sterling per biking in Tailfin
Tailfin biking approach was likened apple. Buying one of its great emotions is one purchase, and the purchase of everything, because it is not compatible with other wonders. Sides: There are no comic parts, they are attached to any bike, and first -class bags.
Fabric

50 pounds sterling in Mastercraft courses

Recycled folding bag

13.99 pounds sterling in Bike Boom
From 20.26 pounds in Amazon
For unplanned shopping, friends have a lifelong Pannier Pannier Opat. This is a folding shopping bag, made of rice bags after consumption, which is intertwined to your Pannier shelf. Not for heavy loads – Think about a pint of milk, bread and some groceries, instead of your weekly store.
Best backpack collections
Pannier bags can be embarrassing of the bike. In the backpack transformers, search for bags with installations that do not dig in your back. It should also be easy to switch the rainy sidewalk, ideally, waterproof.

Strong and elegant

This bag features an elegant flap that excels and covers straps or fasteners on the shelf in seconds. It is also a waterproof, it looks good and comes in sizes 20 liters or 26 liters. It is true that Ortlieb, the installations are strong and well designed. EBIKE fell 25 kg on the bag, and the interior laptop survived.
Double backbone pregnant
Double backpacks of the Decathlon reflector shelf are popular in cyclists in London. Its divided design prevents pregnancy, which may reduce the knee strain if you carry a lot. It is also comfortable and easy to shift, and I had no objection to having to withdraw on the water -resistant cap in a spray. I even criticized my permanent clerk behind the shoulder belts. I was told that it fits the child’s seat, unlike some Pannier bags.
My work, with a lot of pockets
Pannier -convertible backpack
147 pounds sterling for 22 liters on the wheel hardware
From 164 pounds sterling for 30 liters on wheel hardware
Alan Evans, Deputy Editor -in -Chief of the Overly Environment, is a passenger passenger with experienced and editor Bike. he Uses two backpacks for two wheel on the 2.0 Plus -Plus back back.

It doubles as a cold (or hot) bag
Pink Rolltop backpack
90 pounds sterling in Goodordering
85 pounds in Amazon
Goodordering, based in East London, offers fun and multi -use Rolltop bags in recycled fabrics in different bright colors. Bike clips take some practice while carrying the bag and not 100 % waterproof, but the pocket settings for everything and a good appearance are divine. Their filling means that it is also doubled as cold bags for summer phases, or warm bags for ready -made meals.
The best bags roaming shelf
Shelves bags are especially good for folding bicycles, as the capacity on both sides is limited, and it will not matter to increase the center of gravity for the bike.
Expandable and water resistance
Vincita Big Nash bag
I swear by some followers by the Carrier Vincita Big Nash bag. It is 20 liters and long enough to suit a laptop; It features expandable sideboards and its “Easy Freed” side boards that have an integrated anti -theft. It is also waterproof, with additional rain cover, and laptop sleeves inside.
Vintage Look Bag
Caraudura shelf bag
The carradice’s carradura holder contains a capacity of 10 liters, a lot of pockets and tapes, and side pockets that extend like small wonders. It contains vintage magic, with a lot of zips, black and gray sides and spots of red. It is made of PVC-backed polyester, connects with a rift with clips and comes with the Hi-Vis rain cover.
The best bags attached to the bike frame
Cycling bags are smaller and less huge than wheels, and are connected to different parts of the frame instead of Pannier shelves. The idea is that these simplified bags make rough roads and the longest adventures. They suffer from this in getting and turning off, but if you are in the country, or on trips where the bike remains next to you, this should not be a problem. Beware: Micro -bicycle tires will not fit much.
Stylish detailed

One for adventurers
Bar
119.99 pounds in Restrap

Made in the UK, the UK bicycle bags are intended for long-term adventurers and daylight staff-instead of those who want to take bags and stop them a lot. The 10L waterproof bar, the handsome orange and black or black orange color, pockets and miniature portfolio. I supplied a suitable mine with a colleague outside one nightmaker, and I lost a foaming break, which was gently replaced.
Classic packed bicycle
Corporate bag
From 114.99 pounds at the restriction
107.99 pounds for 14l in Merlin Cycles
The Restrap bag is popular with a bicycle due to its durability and a lack of oscillation. The average framework (I am 5’6) is approximately 14L between the saddle and the rear frame. The clips and preservatives need that the dry bag is partially full to stay in place- think about a jacket down, the repair group and snacks at least (you will need smaller sizes to fill them)- but it is easy to use and difficult- wearing.
Two higher bags
TipEak Backloader
56.24 pounds in TWEKS courses
56.84 pounds in Amazon
I have long used 10l Topeak Backloader. It is strong and large enough to my individual tent, prevent semi -invasive and pressure from retreat. External flexible tapes accommodate random organisms – in my case, once, the Bag Froy – while the dry bag can be easily removed at the end of the trip.

Campaign frame package

From 93 pounds in Condor’s courses
The APIDURA’s Expedition package is located in the middle of the frame and is designed to ride a day or more. It comes in sizes of 3L compressed to 6.5 liters, so there are sizes to suit most tire sizes and needs. It is also waterproof and tear resistance.
A useful bag
TopTube framework
From 110 pounds in Ortlieb
From 95 pounds sterling in Tredz
Finally, the Ortlieb Toptube frame package is durable and waterproof, and extends similarly along the frame. It is great enough for Sarnies, a mini price and changing clothes.
