Accessory bags that make cycling more comfortable, from local shopping to bike tours
I'm Murakami, a staff member who loves cameras.
Since I love cameras, I always carry my PC and camera with me on my bike.
I also enjoy baking, so I often buy flour and eggs at the supermarket on my way home from work.
Before working at Grumpy, I even worked as an Uber Eats delivery rider.
So, wouldn't it be fair to say that I've become an expert in carrying things by bike without even realizing it? (Completely serious)
As an expert, I'm going to introduce the bike bags I actually use every day.
Since these are methods I personally use, you should be able to carry your PC and camera without any problems using the methods I'm about to show you, so please use them as a reference.
First up is this.
1. Stem Bag
○BLUE LUG - stem pouch ¥5,390- (tax included)
There are various types of stem bags in terms of material and size,
and among them, the largest stem bag is the BLUE LUG stem pouch.
Its selling point is that it's big enough to fit a 1L Nalgene bottle,
but I often use it to carry a plastic bottle and a mobile battery together.
Combined with Quad Lock, it's always smartphone-ready!
I ride my bike for about 2 hours a day for commuting, so I listen to podcasts.
I also put my gloves in it when I stop at a convenience store... It's a very convenient bag to have.
2. Frame Bag
○FAIRWEATHER Corner Bag X-pac ¥5,610-
I keep an ABUS chain lock in the main compartment.
Since I lock the rear wheel, it's convenient to have it where I can quickly grab it.
I always keep an eco-bag in the pocket on the other side.
I keep two ✌️, including a spare, in case I buy groceries on my way home.
By the way, if you put eggs in the frame bag, you can transport them without breaking them.
3. Pannier Bag
○FAIRWEATHER Pannier Bag ¥19,800-
The pannier bag has recently become an indispensable item for me.
For commuting, I put all my important items like my PC, wallet, and portable tools in it, so I can detach it with one touch and take it with me.
Electronic devices like PCs won't break if you put them in a cushioned cover.
The flap-top type allows you to adjust the capacity, which is perfect for when I occasionally need to carry long items (like green onions).
It's also a versatile item that comes in handy for camping tours with a lot of luggage.
(I have two of the same pannier bags)
All the items introduced here are available for viewing in-store. Of course, my bike is also available for viewing.
We look forward to your visit.
