A comfortable velotaf backpack for: your work stuff, your lunch or your spare shoes! A comfortable rucksack for your commute to work by bike. The velotaf has really taken off in recent years. This method of getting to work has a number of advantages.
The velotaf has seen a real boom in recent years. This method of getting to work has a number of advantages. For a start, it’s an environmentally-friendly, non-polluting mode of transport. You can squeeze in anywhere, avoid traffic jams and save time on your journeys, especially if you have access to a cycle path. KARKOA backpacks will be able to accompany you on your cycle, guaranteeing excellent carrying comfort.
To insulate your wet belongings after a sports session, all our bags are supplied with:
You can also, as an option, buy a waterproof rain cover with taped seams to protect your bag from the rain.
Naturally, to practice cycling, it is essential to be well equipped. You only need to pass a cyclist in the morning on your way to work by car to realize this. Clothing adapted to the weather and a jacket with reflective strips are part of the cyclist's equipment. But cycling is a very different practice from walking or running. This is a means of transport to get to work in the city. And who says work, says material. Papers, notebooks, binders, notepads, pens or a laptop are all objects that you may need to take with you to go to work. Of course, all your equipment must be perfectly protected from the hazards of the journey. It is not uncommon, even in the city, to encounter mud or find yourself in the rain. It is of course possible to use panniers. They can be large and hold a lot of things. But they also have disadvantages. Because they are bulky, it is not always easy to disassemble them, which requires you to store your belongings in a bag that will fit in the bag. Installed on only one side of the bike, it can unbalance it if it is too loaded and represent a danger. A bag on each side increases the size and weight of the bike. Not to mention that a bicycle bag will not necessarily adapt to all models, like some mountain bikes for example. In short, nothing better for cycling than a backpack!
You might think at first glance that a shoulder bag could be suitable for commuting. In fact, no, it could even be dangerous. A loaded shoulder bag can easily unbalance the cyclist and cause an accident. So let's avoid this type of luggage. If you opt for a bike backpack, it is important to choose it carefully. It must naturally be adapted to your needs and your body shape, neither too big nor too small. Two main criteria must be taken into account:
The Karkoa Smartbag 25 and Nomad 25 are particularly popular with women. Although they don't take up a lot of space, they still have a capacity of 25 litres, which is more than enough to store your sports clothes, used outside of work... or simply for the bike ride to work. Separate compartments and inside pockets allow you to organise your belongings as well as possible. A special padded compartment can hold a laptop up to 15 inches and your documents. Small, easily accessible pockets hold a smartphone or wallet. Practical for keeping items close to hand, even when cycling. A separate compartment with a waterproof lining lets you carry a pair of sports or office shoes.
At 34 litres, the Smartbag 40 is a little bulkier, but is still perfectly suited to the velotaf. Also cleverly compartmentalised, it can carry a laptop of up to 15.6 inches. The separation between the central pocket and the shoe compartment is removable, increasing the capacity of the main storage area. This model also has an insulated compartment on the side of the bag. This means you can carry a bottle of water with a capacity of up to 1.5 litres and keep it cool. So you won't have to worry about staying hydrated on your bike trips.
