Pannier and cycling bags for bicycle rides and touring

Both long and short bicycle trips require taking luggage with you, which is where pannier and cycling bags come in handy. Pannier bags are backpack-styled bicycle accessories to place on the side of your wheels, either at the rear or at the front. These cycling bags are used in pairs to evenly distribute the weight of your luggage on either side of your bicycle. They can even be used for commuting to and from work or school should you have a lot of things to carry, such as laptops, tablets, documents, clothes and lunch.

At vidaXL, we carry a wide selection of affordable and stylish cycling bags. Check out our collection on this page, and find your favourite. 

Large cycling bags for camping, food shopping, and trips

Are you in need of a bigger cycling bag for a shopping trip, camping or something else? Then you came to the right place. At vidaXL, we carry large pannier bags perfect for carrying a large load. Our bigger cycling bags come in the following sizes:

• 52 litres

• 57 litres

• 65 litres

When going on camping trips, these pannier bags are excellent for packing your clothes, shoes, food, cooking stove, and other necessities. They are even suitable in the rain, as they are water-resistant and durable. Our bigger pannier bags also come with a top compartment over the two side saddle bags.

Stylish and smart cycling bags designs

Ideal for commuting to work, business meetings, school, or university, a smart pair of bike bags have a less rugged appearance than other models. Some designs feature a patent leather-look fabric to bring a polished and professional aesthetic. These cycling bags are great for your work or study essentials and feature fold-over flaps with buckles and velcro, so your things stay secure. Choose from classic colours such as black and grey.

For a less formal look, try a pair of cycling bags with an urban design. Modern and chic styles with sleek silhouettes look great while being practical for carrying your day-to-day items. Zipper pockets on these bike panniers help you organise your things, while the reflective strips ensure your safety when cycling at night.

6 key benefits of using cycling bags

There are many benefits to investing in a cycling bag, and we are pretty sure you will get plenty of use out of it. Let’s take a closer look at some of the pros of getting a pannier bag.

1. Cycling bags can carry a large volume of gear and things. As already mentioned earlier, pannier bags are rather spacious, and you can easily fit in all your essentials, whether you are going to school, work or on a cycling trip over the summer holiday. You will even have enough room for souvenirs.

2. They are easy to pack. Because they are shaped like a backpack, they are very easy to pack. You can literally just throw in all your gear and fly out the door. The bags also pack quite efficiently, and it’s easy to get what you need from the bag.

3. You can carry a laptop in the bag. You can easily fit a laptop in the bag, which is great if you are using your cycling bag to commute to and from work or school. If you need to pack photography gear or similar, you will also easily be able to fit that into the bag.

4. They are affordable. Usually, bags can be a rather costly affair, but pannier bags from vidaXL are affordable, and you might as well save where you can.

5. It’s easy to pack in the morning. Remember how we said these cycling bags could carry a large volume of things? Well, they are also very easy to pack, making them really handy on those busy mornings when you don’t have any time to spare.

6. They are very easy to attach to your bicycle. It literally won’t take you more than a minute, and then you are ready to head off.

These are just some of the many pros of getting a cycling bag. We are sure that once you try one for yourself, you will discover even more benefits.
