Inspired by the good old pencil case that mums lovingly prepare for kids before every ‘first day of term’, this saddle/handlebar bag is a super useful piece of kit for a mum who gets around by bike.

Ask the Expert: How Do I Make My Commuter Bag Lighter?

Velcro straps can attach the bag where you wish and riding with your money, phone, keys and lip balm up front means you’ll always have what you need! There are four colour choices, too – maroon, forest green, rust and brown.

A detachable shoulder straps means this bag can become an over-the-shoulder piece when the bike is locked up and there are reflective straps for added visibility.
