Bags and Bicycles
In German ‘radler’ means cyclist and because Germans will be German Radler is also a refreshing mixed drink of beer and lemonade.
Hi! I am Lukas, nice to meet you! Originally from Germany I now call Melbourne, Australia, home. With what is probably a slight obsession for bicycles and functional design I am the one man show behind all you see here: patterns, cutting, sewing, trying to get the website to work.
This all starts several years ago with my hunt for the perfect bicycle commuting backpack. And when you can’t find one you need to make your own. Ever since then I’ve been iterating and improving the pattern and hunting for the right fabrics to use. Made right here in Melbourne all bags use strong weather resistant rip-stop fabrics that should last you for a good while.
With standard spaced webbing on all backpacks and bags you can securely attach several together and freely extend carrying capacity. Then when you reach your destination or need to slim down detach them in seconds. Fork and messenger bags also come with standard spacing holes and metal supports to mount to your bicycle.
