Fold-Up-Bicycle-Saddle-Bags

Saddlebags must be hung on a rear bike rack and secured in place using two metal clips spaced 8-1/4" on center. The clips will fit over a 5/8" or smaller rod. (A rack is required and is not included in the price above.) Universal bicycle cargo racks are available locally at discount and sporting goods stores.

These bags, with two stainless-steel clips, can be hung on any rail system, making them adaptable for other uses.  We have even equipped a mobility scooter with front and rear bags.

The bottom stretch straps secure the bags.

Upgrade your bike today with functional, long-lasting saddle bags designed for real riders.

Bags fold flat when not in use, but when needed, each will carry a bag of groceries or other gear and supplies. They are sized to hold a paper grocery bag. Each bag will hold 1188 cubic inches of storage space.

Saddlebags are made of heavy-duty canvas with a plastic bottom and back to keep the bags solid and uniform. These saddlebags are durable enough to haul tradesman tools for work bikes; each bag will hold up to 50 lbs.

Note: Bags are open top to haul tall sacks and do not have a top cover.

These are Amish-made and widely used in communities across Indiana and Ohio. They are called Napp sacks and are used for lunch boxes, schoolbooks, and grocery shopping. The Amish use bicycles for short trips to town instead of hitching up the buggy. These saddlebags allow them to haul a fantastic amount of supplies and gear. 

We also carry a similar saddle bag in a smaller 12" x 8" x 8" size. Click Here for more info.

The Amish also use the Aluminum Bicycle Cargo Bike Trailers, also sold here at Cottage Craft Works.
