Product Description

Carrying small spur-of-the-moment-errand stuff on your bike is often a problem. This lightweight, ultra-compact water-resistant/repellent sil-nylon reusable grocery bag is the solution. It packs anywhere and doubles as a functional backpack. Jam one of these behind the headlight, instruments or a side panel and it will stay there until needed. All seams are reinforced with binding for durability and strength. The two generous handles are tacked and bound, then reinforced again –- so they won’t rip or pull off. Two draw cord closure straps of nylon flat webbing, sewn through the top lip of the bag secure a quick cinch closure. The bag’s bottom corners are reinforced with Cordura pack cloth and feature grommet style cord locks to adjust shoulder straps to desired length. A stuff-pouch is high on the interior and doubles as easy-access storage for keys, phones, money, etc. These are built to last, better for the environment, and work great for a lot more than just groceries. Have one along and be ready. Works great for shorter urban distances by threading one’s left forearm through the handles so the bag hangs just in front of the left knee, too. Assorted colors. 4.5"×3.75"×2" (compressed), 19"×20"×18" (expanded).
There are all kinds of other little bags like this -- bags that one gets free at trade shows, or one can purchase for $7 out of a bin by the cash registers of Whole Foods and Trader Joes type stores. We spent a bunch of time making prototypes trying to figure out how to make a really good one that a rider could jam under the saddle or behind a headlight or fairing, or keep inside of a courier bag, to have ready for 'whatever'. This is a serious tool for everyday riders, not a throwaway. I keep one behind the headlight of my 650 motard (between the little number plate area above the sealed beam, and the speedo). I keep another in the small back pack I use for daily commuting to carry my computer, work papers, etc. I keep another in an aerostich courier bag I use for quick errands (this bag hangs by the garage door of my home...and is used for weekend trips to the grocery and similar non-work missions).
