As more commuters realize the benefits and convenience of pedal commuting, the demand for luggage that can be carried on bikes is also increasing. Brompton has responded by redesigning its luggage for 2020, expanding its options to meet the needs of more riders.
Brompton's folding bike design is an icon of urban transportation, and as a result, the Brompton range is often considered the best folding bike or best commuter bike. Easy to ride and quick to fold, Brompton folding bicycles allow commuters and city riders to either pedal fully or fold up and hop on public transportation.
Brompton's new bags are divided into two categories, Metro and Bolo, reflecting the different requirements of riders. Transit bags are also available for carrying the Brompton. Brompton bags are available in nine different styles and sizes, ranging from a 1-liter handlebar bag for storing small essentials to a 28-liter roll-top bag for carrying your weekly shopping. [The Metro Series offers a range of messenger-style bags, backpacks, and casual briefcases for commuters, all made of durable DWR (durable water repellent) treated materials, padded laptop sleeves, cables, and laptops, It has a convenient pocket for storing cables, laptops, and valuables. Also weatherproof is the 20-liter fully waterproof messenger bag made of 840D TPU-coated nylon and RF-welded construction to keep your belongings dry.
The Bolo series features a roll-top closure for added versatility when commuting or storing awkwardly shaped groceries. The padded laptop sleeve and ample storage are not only great for commuting, but also provide excellent storage, allowing you to shop on the way home or pack everything you need for a weekend getaway. A detachable shoulder strap allows the bag to be carried when not on the bike.
Brompton will be collaborating with Chapman Bags of Cumbria. Smoke gray and tan waxed cotton by Scottish fabric manufacturer Halley Stevenson to create a special edition Brompton Game Bag inspired by traditional British hunting and fishing bags, with premium leather trim and solid brass hardware for a premium finish.
While backpacks are great for carrying luggage, being able to attach the bag to the bike eliminates sweaty backs and makes the overall riding experience more comfortable. The new bag uses the Brompton's existing front mounting blocks to safely attach a bag full of luggage without affecting steering characteristics. The mount is Brompton-specific and must be purchased separately. The bag is compatible with all Brompton handlebars, but not with electric Bromptons, which use a dedicated bag to hold the battery.
