Backpacks and Bags

Choosing the right bike bag depends mainly on what you need the bag for. If you have a lot of luggage with you every day, a bike backpack is often a good choice, since the weight is distributed on both shoulders and backpacks usually offer more organization than messenger bags. In our shop you will mainly find backpacks from brands like Mission Workshop and YNOT. Both offer you bike bags with a lifetime warranty, which are handmade in the USA and Canada, respectively, from high-quality and advanced materials. Mission Workshop makes arguably the best bags for everyday cycling. Bike backpacks are usually made of extra strong and weatherproof material to give you an extra durable bike bag. The best alternative to a bike backpack would be the messenger bag. Messenger bags are worn diagonally over the shoulder and are designed to fit particularly well and comfortably on the bike.

Most messenger bags have versatile pockets that are specifically designed to fit the needs of cyclists. If you are looking for a bike bag that is particularly easy to carry on your bike and is an ideal companion for everyday use, a messenger bag is ideal for you.

The selection of different bikepacking bags is huge, but there are 3 central bags in most setups: The handlebar bag, frame bag and saddle bag. Handlebar bags mount to the handlebars with different mechanisms and hold your luggage between your hands on the handlebars. The frame bag often lends itself to either everything you need to access quickly like charging cables and valuables, or for extra heavy stuff and water, as the weight of the frame bag has less of an impact on your ride. Frame bags are mounted in the triangle between the top tube, down tube and seat tube. Saddle bags are attached to the seat post and saddle and often lend themselves to heavier items. Many bikepacking saddlebags have several eyelets on the outside to be able to mount cups, shoes, etc outside the bag. Especially on longer tours, it is often still to think about special fork bags, food pouches and downtubebags to optimize the space and weight distribution.

Messenger bags are an integral part of the urban cycling culture. They are worn diagonally over the shoulder and can thus be easily pulled forward and wear particularly well on the bike. Most messenger bags have a second stabilization strap or chest strap, which ensures that the bag can not slip on the back. In our shop you will mainly find messenger bags from manufacturers like Mission Workshop from the USA and YNOT from Canada. These bags are made from extremely durable and advanced materials in North America and offer you a lifetime warranty. YNOT's messenger bags are a bit more traditionally designed and have a large main compartment and a few smaller organizer pockets. They have a particularly sturdy construction and can be supplemented with an additional laptop compartment, for example. The outer material is made of high quality Cordura, which is almost indestructible and the special coated inner material provides additional weather protection, which reliably keeps your bag dry. Mission Workshops classic messenger bags comes in 3 sizes: Monty, Rummy and Shed. These models share the same layout with a large main compartment, multiple zippered exterior pockets and two additional pockets for lock and lights.

Mission Workshop's messenger bags allow you to change the side of the shoulder strap to fit your individual needs and take the strain off your body. The latest model from Mission Workshop is the Khyte Messenger Bag, which can be expanded modularly and has a much more complex design.

In this category we at BIKE PUNK offer you a selection of various Musette bags of the brands Cinelli, Pedaled, Restrap or Apidura. Musette bags are iconic accessories in cycling, because they give you the opportunity to take gloves, empty bottles, sunglasses or snacks with you, without major additional weight.

While these bags are immediately thrown away after use, this Musette was designed to give long and noble service. They provide quick and easy access to your stuff.
