Bike backpacks
Everyone knows a standard backpack or a single pannier. A bike backpack, on the other hand, is something many cyclists have yet to discover. Which is a shame, because a bike backpack is an incredibly practical solution. A bike backpack combines the best of both worlds: all the advantages of a pannier and a backpack in one.
The benefits of a bike backpack
You might not expect it, but a bike backpack is remarkably comfortable to carry. Basil bike backpacks feature a fully padded back panel. A welcome comfort for your back. Even better, you can attach the bag to your bicycle rack while cycling. Thanks to the Hook-On or MIK Hooks system (the two hooks on the back of the bag) it can be secured directly to your bicycle rack.
Not only does this take the weight off your back, it also helps prevent you from arriving at your destination with a sweaty back. You'll also enjoy a more stable ride with the bag attached to the bicycle rack of your bike or e-bike. With the weight carried on the bicycle rack rather than on your back, the backpack's centre of gravity sits much lower. That makes for a safer ride, too!
Waterproof bike backpacks
Whether you cycle to work every day with a laptop or tablet, or head out for a day trip with extra food and supplies, a purpose-designed bike backpack is ideal for carrying everything you need. Naturally, you’ll want to keep your valuables dry. Most Basil bike backpacks are waterproof or come with a rain cover, helping to keep the contents of your bag dry whatever the weather.
