Bike Backpacks

Is it OK to Cycle with a Bicycle Commuter Backpack?

Yes, in fact, cycling with a bike commuter backpack should help make your ride safer. This is because you’re carrying weight evenly on your back and your hands are free to steer the bike, not juggle bag straps.

What Are the Best Bicycle Backpack Features I Should Consider?

The best backpack for bike riding depends on the type of cycling you do and why/what you need to carry. However, broadly speaking, we recommend keeping an eye out for features including:

• Lightweight
• Quality materials, preferably waterproof or water-repellent
• Ergonomic straps and detailing
• Easy and fast access into the bicycle backpack
• Adjustability
• Reflective detailing or bright colours for high-visibility
• Padding to protect fragile items such as a laptop

Is a Mountain Bike Backpack Essential?

Yes, a MTB bikepack typically has enough carrying capacity to store your hydration, First Aid Kit items, spare tubes, bicycle tool kit, cycling nutrition, and more. All of these items are essential for mountain bike riding.
