Cycling backpacks
FAQ – Frequently asked questions about cycling backpack
Cycling backpacks for road cyclists should, above all, be lightweight, compact, and comfortable. They are usually narrower than regular cycling backpacks and do not have space for a hydration system, for example, because you really don’t want to carry that weight on your back when you’re sitting hunched over for hours. Feel free to bring some extra snacks and tools, but keep it light and tight!
It depends entirely on what type of cyclist you are and what kind of ride you are going on. If you mainly like mountain biking, you could use a backpack with a hydration system. If you’re riding a road bike, your backpack should preferably be as lightweight and compact as possible. If you are heading out for a major bikepacking tour, then you will need extra space for extra luggage.
Before buying a cycling backpack, it is best to ask yourself the following questions:
- What type of cyclist are you: racer, mountain biker, or bikepacker?
- What do you want to bring: just snacks and tools or a hydration system and luggage as well?
- What kind of trip are you going on: an hour of slaloming through the woods or a whole day of speeding along on a road bike?
Your answers to these questions not only determine whether you need a bigger or smaller backpack, but also what kind of layout the backpack should have. If you take long solo trips on the road bike, you will need a backpack that can hold just some snacks and tools or spare parts. Cycling backpacks are especially popular as water carriers among mountain bikers. Bikepackers need extra space for all their luggage.
