is there a small backpack that fits onto bike rack
Hi,
I remember seeing one time a small light blue backpack, in the style used for schoolbooks, not hiking, that happened to have the attachments on it to fit onto a bike rack. Does anyone know of anything similar? I can't find anything on google except for a hiking backpack that turns into a pannier, and how to sew on a bungy cord to do the same thing. I just think it would be neat to commute with my few things and have a normal-looking backpack to pull off my bike. Thanks, Dan |

Thanks, Dan I'll let you judge normalcy, but... http://www.mec.ca/Products/product_d...Eprd_id=845524 441778193&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302693353&b mUID=1211513147962 MEC Rackpack Backpack. It's a bike rack back with hidden backpack straps, allowing it to convert into a practical but fairly narrow backpack. It's not even expensive at C$33. -- Ryan Cousineau / "In other newsgroups, they killfile trolls." "In rec.bicycles.racing, we coach them." OK MEC got me this which is more like what I was thinking about: MEC Cycling Pannier/Daypack Gary, looked at Karrimor's website, not sure I found anything good yet. Thanks all, Dan |

I have one. There is no real backpack section, you put your stuff into a stuff sack and kind of secure it with webbing into the pack. A ridiculous design.

Thanks, Dan I have looked at this one http://preview.tinyurl.com/3kr7t2 I didn't like the long zipper that attaches the outer cover to the backpack. The outer cover covers the shoulder straps and supports the hooks that attach to the rack. It has to be rolled up and stowed in a compartment under the backpack. It didn't look very durable to me.
