I purchased the discontinued Brompton T-Bag for grocery shopping and touring, and went out for a ride to see how much stuff I can fit inside this bag. It's a LOT.
it goes without saying that I love the Brompton folding bike to run errands in the city, and the Brompton T-Bag just makes the bicycle much more capable in terms of cargo capacity.

You are making great videos on the Brompton, thanks for posting
Enjoy watching you ride, introducing the Brompton bike and it's accessories
Thank you for this video! I ordered the Brompton Borough Rolltop bag for the same purpose- weekly grocery shopping. There are some delays with the delivery of my B75 and the Borough bag given the current situation, but keeping my fingers crossed that they'll be ready for collection soon.
Wonderful! Let me know your first impressions on the Borough. It looks really nice! Thanks for sticking around Matt!
The tea bag and the ass bag? 😂😂😂
Ahaha tell me about it. I won't discuss their choice of names (T-Bag and S-Bag).
Excellent Video man... Absolutely love watching them... thank you!
Glad you like them!
I have a black M3L Brompton from 2011 and love the T- bag! Important to note that Brompton recommend you don’t use the T bag if you have the S type handlebars (straight sporty one). Loving you channel mate, best wishes from Cambridge England :)
Hey. I am from Brazil as well, living in Europe and about to buy my first Brompton (even if I have been commuting by bike since 2011, I am very excited). Your videos have been really useful! Thank you very much! I plan to bike packing in Holland soon, if you ever come to Lisbon with your Brompton I would be more than happy to show you around.
You make some good points I especiallylike the netting idea. Im a courier and the way you packed your shopping is typical of how my bike looks and my bag has stood the test of time. handle bar mobility can be an issue but I usually cruise in such a crammed bag scenario so i reduce the likelyhood of having to make any extreme turns.
Victor, good review, many thanks! :)
Glad you liked it!
I laughed out loud when I saw the overflowing bag. Great video
I have the old school T Bag. I love the crap out of it! The inside is a bright yellow to see everything inside. I wished the front wasn't such a flimsy mesh pouch though, but I also don't want the fabric like on yours. The size of the thing is so awesome. You should incorporate compression packing cubes for some better organization. :D
You have to be more careful regarding, not only the weight but the centre of gravity of that weight. I've done several times what you've shown in this video and I broke one bag frame. The problem seems to be the balancing of the bag while riding. If you can keep the heavier items in the bottom of the bag, you should be fine.Regarding the T-Bag vs the newer bags, I've the Explore edition one and for everyday use I think its much better and refined than the T-Bag. The rear pouches are much nicer with the magnets closure, the front pocket can be closed and the main compartment has a protected computer zone. When you walk around with the bag, the absence of a rigid handle, makes it much more comfortable. On the other hand, nothing can beat the T-Bag for grocery shopping and travelling by plane :-)
Thanks for your opinions on the newer bag! I wish I could've seen both in person (maybe I'd have gone for the newer one?). But I'm satisfied with this older one. I wanted it for a long time, you know? When I heard the news it was being discontinued, I immediately looked for one! Ahah
I bought my T-bag with my Brom in 2012 and it has 3x elasticated mesh pockets (left & right and a big front pocket) it also has a yellow interior, best of all it has 2x velcro strips with keepers that allow the bag to be closed without rolling the top down, so it can be overfilled way beyond its 31 litre capacity. It’s rear pockets are a zip pocket on the left and a drawcord closure open pocket on the right with a small drain hole, both pockets can take a 750ml water bottle.
Nice video. Good image quality and editing as well. Well done. So many American CZcamsrs seem to love the sound of their own voice and gas on and on before they get to the meat of the content.
A pleasure to watch and I don't even have a Brompton :-)
Glad you enjoyed the video and found it to be informative! ahah I tend to speak less than most youtubers, I guess. Thanks for being here!
For those looking at buying this - it has a rain cover! - behind the yellow zip. Works well but you get water gather on top. Also doesn’t cover the rear bottle or rear compartment. It will fit a large laptop in it and a change of clothes when you get to work. Usually you would roll the top of the bag shut. Pocket in the front for a waterproof and side pockets for a spare tube or a train ticket. There is a zip compartment inside for a mobile or trinkets.
Also comes with a carry strap.
Thanks for sharing that info! I actually didn't realize it had a rain cover. This wasn't really supposed to be a review or an unboxing since it's extremely hard to find this model nowadays, but your information was really helpful. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing. I managed to put a Brompton front block on my mtb rigid fork and used a T bag equivalent for touring in NZ South Island. The bag was very good. Hope to use my T bag in Korea in coming spring.
I have a T bag on my Brompton and I think it's great. One word of caution; it's very important to remember to fasten the side straps as if you don't! I have found it possible to get the brake levers caught in the fabric. All the best.
Nice video. Very relaxing.
Another great video. Arrasou, Victor!
Obrigado Luca!!
Thankyou nice video. I have the smaller bag & rear rack. I found l had to be careful on weight and amount of items carried both on the front & the rear, as it’s very different with a full bag and a empty one. I had light weight camping gear and it was fine for most of journeys. Best wishes to you and all your viewers. ☺️👌🌈
Victor, thank you for your great review. I also have a T-bag, its great. But not so comfortable if you have to wear it with just one shoulder-strap. Now I have 2 DIY straps with velco fastener to wear it like a backpack when I go by train. Anyway, the T-bag is a great option for the Brompton.
Great choice of bag!
Thanks Manny!
I am glad you like the T bag, I have been using an older version of T bag (the bottle holder is on the right, the lining is bright yellow) for more than 10 years and I have not found another bag as useful as T bag! I have a even older T bag I bought more than 15 years ago, not as good as this one
It's reassuring that your T-bags remain strong after so much time!
Several years ago, before biking around Europe's 2nd largest lake, Lake Balaton in Hungary, a friend lent me his T-Bag to try it out. The lake is 150-miles around and I took it casually over parts of 5-days. I had all my clothes and gear in the T-Bag. It was flawless. I never felt the weight up-front and found the slots around the bag, several of which stretch, functioned perfectly. I immediately went out and bought my own T-Bag after the bike trip. Having both the S-Bag (day to day usage) and T-Bag (for high capacity requirements) gives you lots of flexibility with your Brompton.
Great video and channel-i just subscribed. I used to own a Brompton M2L but was sadly stolen. T-Bag for me was incredible, not only it was perfect for shopping but also great for the British weather! Just checking you knew about the hidden luminous cover inside the side pocket with the bright yellow zip? Ralph
Bravo Victor !
Great review! Love the squirrel! Ha
The best! haha
Excelent video! Excelent test! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👌🏼
Great video... thanks!!!
Glad you liked it!
Hi Victor, and greetings from the north of England. I have recently discovered and subscribed to your channel - I really enjoy your videos, and your enthusiasm is quite infectious! I have a conventional bike, but like you, I adore my Brompton. It's a delight for shopping etc, and, with its 6 gears, it copes admirably on longer rides and my local southern Pennine hills! Kind regards, Richard.
Welcome aboard, Richard! I'm glad to hear you are also passionate about riding your bike around, and the Brompton is just a wonderful piece of British engineering.
I have 3 bikes and a folding bike for travel only makes sense.. how many times I have to box my bike so much hassle and cost when traveling... Folding bike makes so much sense... Brompton design is so functional and the bike looks cool.. I believe it rides well... I like the steel frame and how well it is made
Man you got me so sold on getting that bike AND bag!
Two Months later, bought both. The end
I've toured many times with the T-Bag, and use it on daily commutes I've carried MUCH more than 10kg. A cargo net on the top is great for touring, holds a map, hat, rain gear, snack anything you might need to grab.
Hello, thank you for your excellent advice and help us to choose the most suitable suitcases according to the use that we are going to give , greetings and until the next video 👍😊☘️
Glad it was helpful! There are bags for all needs and tastes!
Thank you for the very useful information. Recently, I've been traveling a lot in Brompton, so please tell me more about it. I subscribed to the channel!
Bromptons are awesome for bike touring. T-bag is great. When paired with the rack bag, you will be surprised how much you can carry.
I have the original touring bag which has an ALL steel frame, NO PLASTIC. I can and have got masses of stuff in it. It's like a tardis. Unfortunately the fabric isn't water proof so I bought several external rain covers so when needed I put two on, one over the other, to keep the contents of the bag dry. It works.
Happy to see you lifted up your handlebars to put your Brommie into proper “shopping cart mode.” :) Good info I’ve been using the t bag for about a year and never thought to check on weight limits 😱
Were you the person who suggested that to me? That was very helpful! I actually like both ways, but with a fully-packed T-bag it was much easier this time!
Everyday Cycling wast me, just saw in another video of yours and thought “he should raise those bars!” :) I subbed. Good luck with the channel!
When doing BIG shops I sometimes take a ‘racksack’ inside a rucksack 🎒, for extra capacity.
BTW , I routinely exceed the luggage block capacity, often double, never had a problem
You can see the name kalkhoff on the box. Fun fact kalkhoff was a German folding bike brand in the I think 70s
I find the basket bag seems to be my go to brompton bag, i have the s bag as well but hardly use it, the basket bag probs half the cost, enjoyed the video x
0:37 - did you say what I heard? :-) :-) Once again, love your videos! I myself have the roll-top bag in that nice grey/neon green. Seems to be discontinued, so really happy I got it when I did. Love the bag - feels a bit like a bit of bikepacking gear.
Ohh tell me about it. Hahah it's the S-Bag. I don't know if I'm pronouncing it incorrectly or Brompton had a terrible idea for a bag name. HahaH seriously, T-Bag and S-Bag?
That’s so cool!
Thank you Jaqueline!
The new T bag is better because of the magnetic closure of the side pockets.
Also the molle strap from the front is usefull.
I put the shoulder strap through the molle sistem for securing the content from the bag when is overloaded The front pocket whit zipper is also very usefull.
Cheers from Romania :),
Nice to show the T bag vs the burrough version. At the same time 10kg. Is good to know. Thks
I love my T bag ! Very useful.
I like t bagging
Thank your awesome Brompton videos. It encourages me to take my S6E (originally S6L) to ATL for a visit.
I love T-bagging.😜🤪
I like your Brompton a lot.
Thanks!
I regularly "overload" my T-bag to 15-20kg when grocery shopping and so far i've never ever had a problem. What's more, when I do this I typically am also wearing a rucksack with an extra 10-15kg+ and I weigh ±90kg. I did in the past worry a bit about this but have worried less since querying WBA (Will Butler-Adams the MD and major shareholder of Brompton Bikes) at a Brompton event many years ago, and he said he didn't foresee a problem.
That said, he often (modestly!!) claims he is no Brompton expert, and it is true that the technical department advises against exceeding 10kg front and 10kg rear. Anyway, for what it's worth that's my personal experience, and I've now been riding a Brompton and car-less since 2005.
Btw thanks to your excellent 6 accessories video, the Topeak Cargo Net is definitely on my To-Get list. As is the amazing X-Roller Eazy Wheel Extender 😉.
Good to hear you've been overloading the block for some time with no problems. Me too, but only since getting the T-Bag. Thanks for sharing the conversation with WBA!
@@EverydayCycling Wow!!!!! That was a quick response! Keep the videos flowing. You provide us Brommie addicts with some really useful tips! 😀
The newer Borough Roll Top bag with the soft handle can be used on the straight S-bar Bromptons, whereas the T-bag with hard handle was not considered suitable. That matters little for your H configuration though. I have recently bought the Borough Roll Top (for my M6L) and am very pleased with the 28 litre capacity, but am intent on keeping to the 10kg all up weight for safety and component longevity😊 I have been very impressed with the way the bike remains stable, comfortable, and still fun to ride when the bag is at capacity. Yes, a little more air in the front tyre can be helpful.
The Borough is beautiful from what I've seen in pictures. I'm glad you're satisfied! To be honest, since filling it up all the way will probably exceed the weight limit, those 3L difference in capacity is not a big deal at all... I still prefer the rigid handle, but maybe I'm old school. Ahah I'd love to have compared both side-by-side in person, but it wasn't possible. Anyways, these bags do a huge difference when using the bike. It remaisn very stable indeed!
Two things...I had a 5-day bike touring trip around Hungary's largest lake, Lake Balaton, and for that trip, borrowed a T-Bag from a Hungarian friend. It was fantastic! I immediately bought my own T-Bag the next time I was Stateside. Secondly, can you provide a link for the netting you used on this video? Thanks. Good job!
Victor, thanks so much for the video. Can you give the reference of the outside mesh and how to plug it in s bag, for example?. Regards.
I used that model T-Bag on my Europe tour last year. My biggest complaint was getting the rain cover on it when the bag was full (I got a lot of rain on that trip!) I kept bulky items in the T-Bag (to save weight), and used dry-bags on the rack for the heavy camping gear. For commuting around Dallas, I just use the 2019 basket. Touring with the Brompton was great - especially the flying.
It must be awesome to tour on the Brompton. I'm looking forward to it! I haven't tested the rain cover yet, but hopefully I won't use the bag this full anymore. haha
I have this bag and I've always been amazed at how much it holds
I'm in love with it!
Hi Victor, just found your chnl and Subbed right away. I’m new to folding bikes. Yesterday I picked up a used MEC Dahon Ride (I hope that’s not a bad word here). My research would indicate it’s about eight years old. From the original owner. It’s in great shape - looks new. I’m watching all your vids now so I thought I would answer your questions here. I’m from Vancouver CA but also live half of the year in Thailand. Well, when the planes fly. You’ve done a lot of great upgrades. Nice seeing you tour your city. I remember those summer Olympics. Congrats on the success of your chnl. I just hit 444 subs last night 😝Anyway, I’m learning lots from your videos. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing 👍 ALSO, seems i can't ding the notification bell.
Thanks for being here! I'm glad you got a used Dahon in great shape, enjoy it!! It must be nice to live in Thailand for half the year. Especially if you leave Canada in the winter, haha. I'll check your channel out. Another person mentioned having problems hitting the notification bell, and apparently it works if you unsubscribe and subscribe again. Let me know if it works!
@@EverydayCycling YES - great tip. Doing UnSub/Sub worked for "Dining" the Bell👍
@@PolarAttack great to know! Drop me a comment in the future letting me know your impressions about your folding bike! Always interesting to hear this from people new to them!
I’ve got the S handlebar, there is a lot of myths that say that you can’t use many bags with it… I have one of the bags that supposed to be only used with the type of handlebar you have, but I haven’t had any issues when riding even about town and around parks
I have the old style C bag and the older basket bag. Both have a rigid handle that I use all the time like a shopping trolley in a supermarket. The new bags and basket without a rigid handle are far less convenient. No rigid handle has stopped me buying the later bag. I stick with the scruffy old ones instead.
Going to use the cargo net with my bag. Mind blown.
I have the “S” Type handlebars and the Borough bag. Love it, and huge capacity, at least for my needs! I also have a Roll Top Bag which is great for daily trips to work where I don’t need a huge bag. What mirror do you use on your Brompton? I would love to mount one to the left side and not affect the fold.
I'm glad you're enjoying the Borough bag, they look really nice! I'm using a Mirrycle bar end mirror. I had no issues whatsoever to install it on my bike, but I did have to cut the tip of the left grip.
Please please please get the rear rack bag, distribute the weight over the bike, front and rear.
Bromptons are so versatile.
Always thumbs up for all your efforts.
Thank you, and take care.
Working on it! My next video will show you the rear bag I use for the Brompton.
Hello again,
thank you for the informative video.
10:16 Is the carrier block designed for 10kg because it is plastic, or can the screws handle a maximum of 10kg?
Otherwise you could buy an aluminum carrier block and drive a few more kilograms with you around.
The 10KG are reached faster than you think. As an alternative would go at most a suitcase scale to weigh it on the road.
Thanks a lot
juck.
Hi, I've just found your channel and I've been enjoying watching your videos. Thanks! Can you explain a little bit about the leather that you have laced onto the main tube? What is its purpose? Style only, or does it serve some sort of function? Thanks!
Hey, I'm glad you found me! That is mostly aesthetic, but it also serves to protect the rear wheel from rubbing against the main tube when the bike is folded up. A friend of mine from Brazil handmade it for me!
I bought the borough bag, in grey, 150€. Looks just ok, but the materials are really good. One disadvantage is that weights 1,6kills just empty. So you have room for only 8,5kg more. But it’ll be a bag for making Camino De Santiago in Spain
The T-bag weighs about the same, 1.5kg. But I wouldn't mind exceeding the limit by just a bit (18kg was way too much). I'd just be more mindful about potholes, etc.
Not sure where you are grocery shopping, but I've switched to using the Kroger scan it yourself shopping app so that I can pack my panniers as I go. I have a Tern GSD (electric assist), so overall weight isn't the issue, it's balance. BTW, I second the suggestion of utilizing the rear for some of your cargo. I had some Wald fold down baskets zip tied to my old Specialized Hardrock, and they held quite alot. I'm keeping them around for when my daughter is big enough to ride a 20" wheeled bike. Don't know how they would interact with the folding, though.
The bulk of my shopping is done at Walmart, but I do go to Kroger every time I go grocery shopping. Thanks for the tips on that! As for the basket on the rear rack, that would really affect the fold, but I can actually attach my other Brompton bag to the rear rack pretty nicely. Will probably do that next time!
GREAT VIDEO of that good looking bag! Canon G7X is exquisite, your vlog image is so stable! Did you set it HIGH on IS Settings?
I only have Low and Standard. Mine's set to standard. The stabilization out of this camera is superb!
@@EverydayCycling IT IS, indeed !!! I just watch a review about this camera, after I watched yours here, and that other CZcamsr showed us how to access HIGH in the settings menu. First he had Low and Standard, he restart camera, switch it to VIDEO and then return to the settings. HIGH option was there, under Low and Standard! Try it!!! :)
Curti muito. Perfeita para compras em mercado tb. Já quero as medidas kkkkkkk
Com certeza, Gil!
I discovered that the drawstring water bottle pocket will actually hold a full 2 litre bottle... same size as large Coke bottle.
Yes, it is a pretty tight fit, and 1/5th of your total load capacity (10 kgs) is used all in one go, but it does fit in without straining the stitching or anything. Just slacken the drawstring as far as it will go.
Note: Sample variation may mean that not all T-bags will do this, but it's gotta be worth a try.
I have the same exact bag you have. I use it every day (for three years) with a laptop inside, books and notebooks and works perfectly fine. Not a single rip. But I never have filled it as much as you. If I have to carry more stuff, I have the rear bag. When I'm riding for pleasure this bag it's bulky. That's because I turn to the rear bag. But I've done lots of km with de T-Bag and the only problem I've experienced is when the wind blows against me. In long trips I use the T-Bag and the rear bag at the same time. And there's people who add a third bag, a saddle bag, but I can't tell you how does it feels when riding.
Is the rear bag from Brompton as well? I'll look into that. But I plan on touring in the near future with a trekking backpack attached to the rear rack, we'll see...
@@EverydayCycling Take a look www.brompton.com/brompton-esp/store/bags-esp/rack-bag-for-rear-carrier/c-33/c-713/p-1518
Thanks for the video insight. I saw that you put around 115kg or 250lbs on the Brompton on that grocery store commute. I put around 220lbs (rider+cargo) on my full size bikes whether it be a road, gravel, or mountain bike on my daily bike commute to work. How much weight do you think the Brompton supports before it starts affecting the durability or handling of the bike? Of course, this is also considering that you have evenly distributed the weight. I know Brompton flexes so that is something I am curious about before deciding getting a Brompton myself. I'm a heavy rider too.
A screw broke und stuck half inside the bike.
with high pressure in the tires and a bumpy road the tbag can be too big. and 10 kg too much...
I'm thinking of getting the new waterproof version of the borough bag. No worries if it rains!
That sounds like a great choice! I've seen the new bags online and they look really good!
Hello friend. Where did you get your water bottle holder?
It looks like a different part
Can you use only Brompton tires and tubes? Are those proprietary? Same question for the derailleur?
Could you share , which website we can order the new bag ?
Thanks 😊
If you're worried about weight, maybe take a digital luggage scale with you for a few runs, just until you get some idea of the capacity. Also, it's not unusual for one tyre to seem like it's always lower than the other. Usually it's a minuscule leak from the valve. I check my tyres every ride on my road bike and at the moment the front is always a bit lower. It's fine for the ride. But yup, maybe put a little more pressure in the front to stop any bottoming out onto the rim in potholes. Any reason you prefer to load up the front, rather than the pannier at the back?
The digital scale idea is good, but I think I have a pretty good idea of how much I can fill it up before reaching the limit. I'll test on the next supermarket run. And yes, I should definitely check both tires before going out, because it could be a minor leak indeed. I'll also try carrying some cargo on the rear rack next time. I just wasn't completely prepared this time. Hahah I was too confident the T-Bag would do it.
Where did you get that cargo bag rope thing from?
Thank You for the review! Great Video! Can You please share the link, where to get Your cargo net?
Sure, it's the Topeak Cargo Net. I got it from REI: www.rei.com/product/797996/topeak-cargo-net
@@EverydayCycling Thank You !!
What’s your rear rack? Or it’s just a standard one?
Problem was the T-bag wasn't compatible with the S-bar Brompton. The rigid handle fouled the steering. You could cut the handle off and make a strap... so the Borough bag was born.
Can you use this bag with electric brompton. Does the middle part fit to battery?
Thanks for video :)
Greetings from Istanbul
May I ask you which bottle holder ist this exactly?
If you carried a small piece of tarpaulin that you could put over the top it would also stop the insides getting wet when you had a full bag
What do u feel about the new bag the one in grey and blue that roll up..in L size ?
I was touring in Sweden using the T-Bag, suddenly I started noticing some unusual movements. So I stopped, checked, and noticed that one of the two screws broke *inside* the frame :-( I managed to finish my tour but yes, here just to say you should definitely watch out and check that the bag+contents do not weight more than 10 Kg.
Absolutely, that's the biggest problem. Did you manage to get the bolt out later?
@@EverydayCycling tried everything but nothing worked. I managed to convince a bike workshop to drill another hole in between the two since that part seems solid enough, and that's how I've been using the T-Bag since then.
Have you though in changing the handlebar of the Brompton? I did with Ergon GP3. The looking is not as nice as the original handlebar, but definitely more confortable
I did use a GP2 for a while. I really didn't like the looks, that's why I shifted back to the originals. But I keep the GP2 for a touring, as they are really comfortable.
Where did you get the t-bag? I have found it's very hard to buy
Thank you for the good review and “extreme” test :) Do you take your video only with Gopro? Thank you.
Thank you! I rarely use the GoPro, I use the Canon G7x a lot more. The good thing about GoPro mounts is that they work for any light cameras, as long as you have the right adapters!
Tenho uma C-bag, uma S-bag e também uma basket bag mas só uso mesmo a T-bag pelo espaço extra para alguma compra eventual.
Eu curti bastante! Mas não posso encher tanto não! Ahah
Nice bag. It would be a good idea to distribute the weight evenly front to back. Better for the Bike and for you. Find a bag for the rear to compensate your weight. Load the front 2/3 to capacity and the rest in the back.
Yeah, I guess I'll be better off doing that next time. I'll use the S-Bag, I found a way to securely attach it to the rear rack without hitting my heels when pedaling.
Great info, then you
Thanks Victor!
Hahahah I shopped too in Lidl supermarket and I exceeded by far too the limit weight. I ended removing 2 milk bricks into an independent bag holding from the handle bar.
Ahaha I should've done the same...
Hello,
on the brompton page I can not find the designation T-Bag. Does it no longer exist, or is this an abbreviation?
I only recently got a brompton c line.
Thanks a lot
Where can I get that water bottle bag online? How much is it?
Nice
You should go out and show everyone your T-bag.
Hello there. May I know where you bought the bag? I can't seem to find any online or in store here in California. Thank you! Just got my Brompton bike a little over a week ago and been trying to find a great bag to go bike with.
I bought it from Freedom Folding Bikes, but they're out now. If you're looking for a new bag and don't have the same reservations I have about the new bags, you should definitely check them out. They're just as good, if not better than the T-Bag! I just wanted the rigid handle and extra 3L so much. Haha
Where can we buy one now ? Thanks
All black gear in the south, wow! BTW I love Schwalbe. How many miles do you do per week?
Not many, especially during quarantine. I'd say around 40-50 miles a week before the quarantine and around 20 miles a week now. I live really close to work and haven't been having time for longer rides. What about you?
Everyday Cycling I do about the same. I just commute around town. My longest round trip is about 16 miles. I do that once a week or so. I also do really short grocery trips and Chic-fil-a curbside.
Is there a reason you haven't used a rack bag on the rear carrier for large shopping runs? Split the load front and back.
I don't have the dedicated rack bag from Brompton, but I will improvise something next time for sure!
I think the rear rack bag on Brompton is pointless because it simply interferes with the fold and that is the main feature of this bike. What is the point of having a rear rack bag that you have to remove before entering the store to fold the bike?
My dealer installed rear-rack in no way interferes with my folding or shopping functions. It does however present an occasional problem when I have cargo that is so large (read long) that my legs hit it when peddling.
Where can i buy this bag ? can't find online
It would be a great addition if the bag could become a backpack, especially tor those who travel by plane and want both hands free, one to carry the bike and the other for anything else.
One of the bags in their newer collection can be used as a backpack!
@@EverydayCycling What I want is a t-bag that can become a backpack. Not a small bag with a strap. I know that I could put a front carrier to secure the bag, but I want to just use a front block. So far, the only way to get such a bag is to get a Spanish or Italian off market design.
