Biking is an incredibly diverse activity; a slow ride down the boardwalk to soak in some vitamin D, an intense and bumpy ride down trails with breathtaking views, a ride to the local store to check off that to-do list while getting fresh air, or even a Sunday cycle with the cycling club. 

Regardless of your version of biking or cycling, a belt bag is a great way to store your things while you’re on the go, including while riding a bike. The Pack is one of the best belt bags for mountain biking, cycling, or simply riding your bike around town. Pack a little or pack a lot—the choice is yours. With features like lightweight materials, exterior zippered pockets on the front and back, a spacious interior zippered pocket, a hideable water bottle, an outer D-ring attachment, and more, The Pack is fit to go along for any ride. Its ability to go from athleisure to athletic makes it one of the most versatile belt bags on the market. If you think you won’t need that much for a bike ride, pack light—and when the demands arise, you’ve got the room. 

How to Choose a Fanny Pack Belt Bag for Biking & Cycling

As you shop for belt bags for cycling and biking, we hope you find the one that’s just right for you. To get the wheels spinning, here are some things to consider when shopping for the best belt bag or fanny pack for cycling or biking. 

What type of bag is best for cycling?

Fanny packs and belt bags are a popular choice for cycling, but ultimately, the type of belt bag that’s best for cycling will be the one that meets your needs and is most comfortable for you. The Pack is a versatile belt bag that can be worn crossbody or around the waist or hips, keeping your things safe and secure in the many zippered pockets. With a zippered pocket on the front and back of the exterior, you can keep items like your phone, chapstick, cycling gloves, hand sanitizer, protein bar, and other essentials easily accessible. While your bike may have a water bottle storage feature, The Pack does too—pull it out and store your water bottle or sunscreen, or tuck it in when not in use. 

Where do you put your bag when cycling?

There are different ways to store your belt bag while cycling. Some riders strap it in using a rear seat or basket, wrap it around the handlebars, or wear it crossbody or around the waist or hips, usually with the storage pocket resting on your back. 

Fanny pack for mountain biking: Why do mountain bikers wear fanny packs?

Mountain biking can be bumpy, so by wearing a fanny pack, you can keep your things safe and secure. On adventures like mountain biking, away from amenities like a restroom or water fountain, a fanny pack or belt bag with ample storage space is even more important. Choosing a practical fanny pack with plenty of storage features like The Pack will help you be even more prepared for your next mountain biking adventure.

What to consider in a belt bag for biking

When you first think of a belt bag, you may think of a basic design worn crossbody, around the waist, or hips. For the most part, this is true, but with the recent trend of exploding belt bag designs, they’re becoming next-level. Here are some features that can seal the deal for bikers. 

• Hydration: For long or short rides, staying hydrated is important. You might not have considered your belt bag as a way to store your hydration reservoir pouch or water bottle, but think again! The Pack features a hideable water bottle holder on the side of the main zippered pocket that you can tuck away or pull out to use. With the contents inside the pouch supported by the main zippered pocket, they can fit securely during a bike ride. If you have other ways to store your water, the hideable water bottle holder can be used to store other things too. In the meantime, consider stashing a snack or two in The Pack to go along with your cold refreshing water.
  
  
• Storage: The Pack elevates storage without compromising style. Starting on the exterior, you can find zippered pockets on the front and the back. These pockets are ideal for storing things you need easy access to, or if you want to separate items like credit cards, hand sanitizers, your cell phone, or earbuds. The exterior design also features a hideable water bottle holder and an outer D-ring attachment for any clip-on items you don’t want to fish around for on the go. On the inside, you’ll find a spacious interior zippered pocket with an elastic strap to attach keys. With measurements of 11.5L x 9H x 4.5D, The Pack is sleek yet spacious.
  
  
• Comfort: Being comfortable can help you enjoy the ride, literally. When biking, you’ll want to be able to move your arms freely and avoid restrictions, and if you’re cycling, you might care about the weight of your gear, too. The Pack is high quality, and designed to fit just right with an adjustable strap and added fabric on the sides of the bag to hug your shape. With tons of designs and fabrics to choose from, you can find The Pack that’s perfect for you. For biking or cycling, our polyester options are a fan favorite because they’re durable, lightweight, and easy to clean. While our other Packs share similar qualities, our polyester design is one of the most popular for athletic activities.
  
  
• Material and construction: When you finally get your new Pack in your hands, it will come to life. It’s built to last and available in materials that fuse flexibility and style. Available in polyester, velvet, and vegan leather, you can choose the perfect Pack for your level of bike riding.
