A saddle bag: a versatile companion for everyday life and travel

Saddle bags have become part of everyday life. Be it for shopping or commuting to work – a bike bag is not only essential for cycling trips, but also for leisure time activities too. A frame bag, handlebar bag, small saddle bag or pannier bag for any amount of equipment: the bicycle bag selection is huge! VAUDE saddle bags are robust, versatile and yet manufactured in an eco-friendly way.

Which bicycle bag for which activity?

Bicycle rack bags: all-rounders for everyday life and leisure time activities

Anyone who rides a bicycle on a daily basis usually opts for bicycle pannier bags. They can be removed quickly, provide plenty of storage space and hardly affect the riding experience. Pannier bags with roll closures can be quickly accessed and slung around the shoulder using an integrated shoulder strap.

VAUDE bike bags with a backpack design have the advantage that they can also be worn on the back – which is especially practical for bike commuters. Another plus point of pannier bags and backpack bags for bikes: our bike commuter models have extra storage compartments for the laptop, folders or important documents. Our bike bags look cool and make a good impression when you’re out on a stroll around town.

For your free time, bike luggage rack bags are also more than just practical: on the way to the lake, on a Sunday outing with the family or shopping, there is room for everything you need. A waterproof cycling bag protects the contents even in wind and bad weather.

Bike travel companions: frame bags, handlebar bags and more

For trekking by bike or bikepacking, pannier bags are usually not enough. If you are on the road for a long time by bike, you’ll not only have your tent, sleeping bag and sleeping mat with you, but also food and other equipment needed for several weeks. Every centimetre of space on the bike must be used efficiently! In order to keep everything packed waterproof, VAUDE bike bags have integrated waterproof dry bags and they are made of water-repellent material or can be protected with additional rain covers.

A bicycle handlebar bag holds all the essentials for the ride: sunglasses, energy bar, smartphone and money. Our handlebar bags have special attachments to ensure that any maps are always in view and protected from the rain.

A frame bag for the bike creates additional storage space for further luggage. Again, items such as tools, a bicycle pump or a rain jacket are easily reachable but not in the way.

Front wheel bike bags can handle the really big luggage. You usually need a lot of equipment for long, ambitious bike trips into the wilderness. Additional storage space can be created in this case, distributed over two front wheel panniers. However, front pannier bags should not be loaded too heavily, so that the steering response of the bike is not affected.

On our service pages, we explain which bike bag is suitable for which adventure. There are also tips and tricks on how to pack a bike bag properly.

A saddle bag: not just useful for road bikes!

With road bikes, you usually try to avoid a large bike bag to be fast and light on the road. Nevertheless, you should never be without a saddlebag, because it can hold a spare tube, pump, tools, energy bars and a little change even in the tiniest of spaces. A quickly removable saddlebag is a great companion when bikepacking with a lot of luggage as well. Items that are not often needed but are vital in an emergency, such as a repair kit or first aid kit, can be stowed inside.

Eco-friendly VAUDE bike bags

Switching from your car to your bicycle is good for the environment – even more so with a bicycle bag from VAUDE! Our bike bags are free from harmful fluorocarbons (FPCS) and partly made from recycled materials! Find out more about sustainable materials.

An eco-friendly Eco Finish keeps the luggage in the bike bag dry, because water simply rolls off thanks to the coating on the outer fabric. Our bike bags also carry the stringent Green Shape sustainability label, which stands for functional, eco-friendly products from fair production. Find out more about Green Shape.

And for those who prefer to carry their luggage on their back, you will certainly find what you are looking for in our range of bike backpacks.
