Whether you cycle to work every day, go on a weekend trip, or run errands, a good bike bag is essential. But which bike bags are actually the best? That depends on your cycling habits, bike type, and personal preference. We'll help you make the right choice and discover which bike bags are the most popular.
Why choose a good bicycle bag?
A bike bag makes your ride more comfortable and safe. You don't have to carry a heavy backpack, you maintain your balance better, and your belongings stay dry and well-protected. Whether you're carrying your laptop, clothes, lunch, or groceries, the right bike bag keeps everything neat and secure, even on bumpy roads.
Different types of bicycle bags
There are several types of bicycle bags on the market. The choice depends on your needs:
Single bicycle bag
A popular option for commuters or students. It attaches to one side of your luggage carrier. Ideal for carrying a laptop or sports gear.
Double bicycle bag
Perfect for grocery shopping or longer trips, these bags offer ample storage space and ensure good weight distribution on both sides of your bike rack.
Waterproof bicycle bags
Essential in the Netherlands! They protect your belongings from rain, mud, and splashes. Often made of durable PVC or coated polyester.
Bicycle bags for e-bikes
These are specially designed with extra reinforcement or a recess for the battery. This allows them to fit easily on the wider luggage carriers of electric bikes.
Removable bicycle bags
Handy if you also want to use your bag as a shoulder bag or backpack. Simply unclip it from your bike to take it to the office or the store.
Handlebar bags
A handlebar bag is perfect for cycling holidays or backpacking. These bags are small and compact and can be attached to your bike's handlebars in seconds.
