Bike Bags

Bike bags are a fundamental accessory to store your belongings when you decide to go on a trip or excursion for a few days. There are different types of bike bags, of different sizes, designed both to carry everything you need to stay away for a few days and to carry only small personal items and tools for quick repairs. When buying a bike bag it is essential to choose a specific one for the bike model rather than trying to adapt any model to transport on two wheels. The bike bags are in fact designed to be securely attached to the handlebars, the rear luggage rack and the frame so as not to hinder pedaling and avoid dangerous falls. There are different types of bicycle bags: Saddle bags: this bag, through a system of hooks, attaches to the saddle pad. It is usually quite large and allows you to carry everything you need for cycle tourism and is also perfectly suitable for racing bikes. Bike frame bag: it is positioned under the barrel of bikes with a diamond frame and since each discipline provides for a different type of frame, it is necessary to take a good measure of the space under the barrel before purchasing. These bags are perfect for cycling and mountain biking. Bicycle handlebar bag: it is positioned between the handlebar and the front wheel, it is cylindrical in shape and its capacity can be up to 20 liters. Suitable for cycling, mountain biking and running. Bike and rear handlebar bag: attaches over the front luggage rack or leans against the rear luggage rack. The capacity of the bag varies, depending on the type and size, and can go up to 40 liters in the case of double rear bags. These bags are suitable for cycling and city bikes. Once the bag has been chosen, other factors must be taken into consideration, such as: Bag capacity: it is essential to think about the duration of the trip in order to buy one or more bags with sufficient capacity to carry everything you need. Material: if you choose to stay away for several days it is advisable to buy waterproof bags to keep your items always dry. The most used fabrics are generally nylon and polyester covered with polyurethane. Some models have a rigid "skeleton" on the back that acts as a shield and protects objects from knocks and bruises. Some bags are equipped with reflective inserts to improve safety and visibility in low light conditions. Type of bindings: those in velcro are recommended only for city bikes while those automatic or with metal clips attach more securely to any bike. The bag must be well secured to the bike, in order to avoid jolts when pedaling on uneven terrain and avoid cornering oscillations.
