You can of course just buy a "normal" shoulder bag, but on the bike these bags like to make themselves and then become a real problem. Here you can find out how a bicycle shoulder bag can help you!
If you've ever gotten on a bike with a shoulder bag, you may know the problem - after a few hundred meters, the bag slides sideways, at the latest at the first traffic light stop it hangs under your belly and with every pedaling motion one of your legs hits it. Especially with a heavily loaded bag, this can be quite dangerous, because it can make you sway quite a bit when it falls to the side with a jerk. The sportier your bike is and the lower you sit, the faster a bag starts to slide! But you can hardly show up at the company with a backpack? But rather drive a car? No, with our shoulder bags for cyclists we have the solution for you!
What makes a bike messenger bag special?
This is where a special bike bag really comes in handy! In addition to the shoulder strap, it has an additional strap that you can buckle around your stomach. The belly strap ensures that the bag stays on your back. Some bags also have a smaller strap that closes under your arm, its function is the same - on the bike the bag does not slide.
Some bicycle shoulder bags have an additional extremely practical feature: on the back there are clips that snap onto the struts of the baggage carrier, so a bag in chic urban style becomes a real bicycle bag after all and you don't have to carry it on your body.
Shoulder bags come in many different styles, from chic enough for the office to flexible and colorful for leisure. Also how you wear them is up to you, you can hang them as shoulder bag or crossbody bag (also messenger bag) or simply clamp under the arm. Classic shopper bags or tote bags with two shoulder handles on the left and right are also available with an extra strap to keep the bag in place when you're in the saddle.

.
If you want to use your messenger bag to carry your work essentials, the contents of the bag are especially important.

- There are also to almost all bags statements in centimeters that quantify length, width and height.
- If the bag is to commute with you to the office as a business bag, the A4 format is the crucial size - will an exercise book fit in the bag or will it not? A4 paper size is equivalent to 297mmx210mm, if the bag is a bit bigger, notebooks and pads of this common size will fit in, the depth of the bag will determine how many of them you can pack.
- Laptops and tablets come in a variety of formats, so you'll also find information on our shoulder bags about whether 13" or 17" Macs and laptops will fit in the bag.

Bike bags for leisure

But especially commuters and city bikers want to have a bag that can also be worn well, and most bike bags just can not offer that. Here shoulder bags and backpacks are much more practical. Bicycle backpacks are a good alternative to the messenger bag, by the way, if you want to pack a little more; they have a larger capacity and they can be heavily loaded and then also easier to carry. From first aid kit to rain gear to drinking bladder, there s plenty of storage space for all sorts of things.

Are shoulder bags waterproof?
Most shoulder bags are made of at least one water-repellent material. Completely waterproof they are rather rare, the top zippers or flaps with side openings do not withstand a decent downpour for long. If you are surprised by a rain shower, you therefore have two options to keep important things dry: you can pull a rain hood over the bag, which unfortunately works much worse with shoulder bags than with backpacks due to their construction. That being said, sensitive items like your phone will be protected from water damage if you pack them in a tight drybag. You can buy the waterproof bags here in the store in different sizes, a small one will surely fit in your messenger bag. A rainproof smartphone bag will also help protect delicate devices.
