9 Best Bike Bags for City Commutes and Long-Haul Adventures—Tested and Reviewed
No matter how much gear you have, these can handle it.
As someone deeply entangled in the world of two-wheeled wonders, thanks to my husband, the avid cyclist, I've ventured through a myriad of bike bags more intricate than the plot twists in a soap opera. Picture this: a man so passionate about cycling, he's taken his beloved bicycle on bike packing trips through the wilderness, weaving through the bustling streets of NYC, and even flown it across the ocean to witness the spectacle of the Tour de France.
This journey wasn't just about racking up miles; it was an odyssey that put every conceivable type of bike bag to the test, from sleek frame bags that hug the contours of his bike like a 2000s tailored suit to rugged panniers ready for a tumble and still come out looking picture-perfect.
Through this shared adventure, coupled with an amount of research that could rival a doctoral thesis, I've compiled a list of the crème de la crème of bike bags. Each one is a story of durability, functionality, and sometimes, sheer style because, let's face it, even the most rugged of cyclists doesn't mind a bit of flair. So, whether you're a seasoned pedaler or a casual cruiser, join me on this quest through the best bike bags out there. Oh, and if you need the best bike racks or helmets, we have guides for those too.
