Bikes are a simple solution to traffic troubles, pollution problems, health issues, and tons of other things.
More and more of us are relying on bicycles to get around these days and the worldwide bike-to-work club is constantly expanding.
Even still, the limited carrying capacity of a bicycle is a turn-off for many who might otherwise use their bike everyday. As soon as we’ve got something our bike can’t carry, we abandon the idea and opt for another way to get around. Bummer.
At Bakkie, we want to make the cycler’s life easier. With our bags you can carry a multitude of things, even big stuff, even the unexpected. Just like your bike, our solution is simple, affordable, and durable.
Check it out. A few examples of what you can do with a Bakkie Bag:
Carry your shopping bags. And if you forget your bags, you can always load up boxes!
Pick up a package that’s too big for your traditional saddlebag or pannier.
Carry musical instruments – guitar, banjo…
Tow or carry a child’s bike to pick them up from school in the afternoon (even if you drove in the morning). Or, if you’re on a ride that’s a bit too long or a road that’s a bit too busy for your little one, they can hop into their seat on your bike while you tow theirs, depends on the chid’s bike size, more infos
Carry your laptop safely in a water-resistant bag that cushions and protects.
Take a different kind of bike trip. Carry your backpack rather than loading up your saddlebags. If you feel like taking a break from the bike and hiking for a couple days, you’re ready to go!
They tried the prototypes. Here’s what they think…
"I’ve never liked riding with my guitar on my back, so I usually use my car to get around. With Bakkie, though, it’s all good.
I’ve tried carrying my instruments on my bike, but between the weight on my back, the neck that goes over my head, and the wind that pulls against it, it’s a total pain. Plus, I’d rather carry my instruments in their hard cases. So in the end I stopped using my bike altogether. ... Read more When Bakkie asked me to test their bags, I had to be able to carry a hard case, have it securely attached to my bike, and not hit my heels on the thing while I pedaled.
Result: I can carry my jumbo guitar case on one side and banjo case on the other without a problem, and pedal without anything getting in my way (I’m a size 47 / 13 but my bag rack is plenty long). The center of gravity is low and the total width of what I’m carrying is about as wide as the handlebars, so I'm much more comfortable and feel safer than I do when carrying my instrument on my back. Another plus, I can pull right up to the place I’m playing. Gone are the days of driving around, looking for a place to park, finding a spot miles away, then carrying my instruments all the way to the gig.”

“I’ve never liked saddlebags. They’ve never been very practical, especially for what I truly need them for: grocery shopping! I have a cargo bike (that I really like!) and two daughters (who I adore!). I figured with my cargo bike, I’d be able to put my groceries at my daughters’ feet, which is what I usually do.
... Read more But, like all kids, my daughters love to play around, and so all my lovely fruit always winds up completely mushed.
Then one day I met Bruno, who told me about his panniers and asked me to test them. Hooray!!! A bike pannier that adapts to my bags and what I buy!!! And I can even use it for work!!!! I first tested it with my wicker shopping basket. I filled the basket with my groceries and when I left the shop, no need to rearrange anything! I clipped the Bakkie Bag around my basket, no problem. Another day I bought some bottles of olive oil that I couldn’t fit safely anywhere. Thankfully I had the Bakkie. You can carry anything you might want to in a standard saddlebag AND everything that doesn’t fit in one (a scooter, for instance!)."

"I’ve carried my kids around on my bike since they were small, but now that they’re getting older, they also want to get around on their own, i.e. ride their bike to school. And the Bakkie saddlebag is perfect for getting my son’s bike back home once I’ve dropped him off. The smaller bike stays in place,... Read more and in-line with me on the larger bike, without a problem until I get to where I’m going. Then I can load up the big bag I use for work without having to change a thing. It’s this versatility and flexibility that I appreciated the most: empty, the Bakkie doesn’t weigh a thing, and once it’s attached to your bike, you’re ready for anything!

"I use my bike daily to take my daughter to school, to bike to work with the train, and to run errands. So every morning I leave with my big backpack on my back, my daughter in her seat, and her backpack attached to the luggage rack. It works, but I’d be happy to get rid of my backpack – it’s heavy,... Read more it’s hot… This is how I used the Bakkie Bags during my test.
My bag rack is set rather far back and so I was able to attach the bags in addition to my daughter’s seat, which attaches to my seat tube. My bag and my daughter’s bag fit in the Bakkies without a problem since all you have to do is adjust the straps to the size you need. No more backpack! The first few times I used it, it took me a few minutes to figure out the adjustments I needed, but I got it quickly after that. My daughter can’t yet ride distances on her own bike, so I can even head out with her in her seat, and her bike trailing behind us in a Bakkie. We have the option now – if she’s tired or we’re on a road that’s too dangerous for her, she hops back into her seat!"

Try it out! As with all panniers, you must be able to pedal without the bag getting in your way.
To make sure everything will work right, it’s easy – use our guide and try it out.
You need a longer rack. We can give you some tips and advice on Bakkie-ready bag racks. Just ask.
Each Bakkie can handle a weight of 20 kg (44 lbs). However, you need to follow the weight limits of your own bag rack and bike. Most modern bag racks are in-line with the certification PR NF EN ISO 11243 10.2016 and can handle a weight of 27 kg (59.5 lbs).
16- to 20-inch bike: A bike this size can be towed. A child’s seat can also be added to the larger bike if the bag rack is long enough (i.e., the Steco Power Safety 35kg). In the photo above, the child’s seat is for children five years and older (therefore, without footrests).
12- to 14-inch bike: Difficult to tow because of the limited distance between the front wheel and the pedals; the pedals may rub against the back wheel of the larger bike. Given their small size, you can tie them IN the Bakkie, as long as they don’t have training wheels. In this case, we recommend that you do not have a child’s seat attached as well.
Contrary to trailer bikes and bikes with tow bars, the child cannot stay on his bike when a Bakkie is towing it.
