An on-the-go and discrete way to carry items on a bicycle. Easy to install, it's a smart and secure device for carrying items under a seat.

Submitted by: Mark Goldman

The Description

If you ride a bicycle, then you have experienced the need to carry something. Despite numerous messenger bags, seat bags, panniers, and baskets available, no product exists that provides an unobtrusive, quick and handy way to carry small items like a jacket or other items while riding a bicycle. The device attaches to most bike seats and solves a universal issue of how to easily, cleverly, and securely carry items while riding. Once the small, lightweight-mounting bracket is attached to the seat rails, a quick fitting soft bag allows a rider to carry a bicycle jacket, lunch, etc. Equally useful is a sturdy waterproof hard case that carries items such as a camera, books or phone. The device does not interfere with the riding experience or with an existing under-the-seat tool bag. And because they can detach so quickly, the collapsible bag or hard case is handy to use away from the bike, for instance, while shopping.

The Customer

My idea is designed for all ages and types of riders regardless of the type of bike they ride (kids', mountain or road bikes) or preference for spandex versus blue jeans.

Key Features

  • It’s a practical, hands-free way to carry small items like a jacket or food. It fits most bikes. It discretely attaches underneath the seat and doesn’t interfere with the riding experience or a tool bag. The soft bag quickly unfolds and just as quickly collapses. The mounting bracket is easy to install, very lightweight, yet rugged. It’s able to carry small cumbersome items both on and off the bike. Optional hard case keeps items water tight and secure.

Product Comparison

  • My specific invention does not exist in the marketplace. Numerous bag companies, however, make countless array of devices to carry items while bicycling. Most can be divided into three camps. An under the seat bag to carry a spare tube and tools, a larger saddlebag or basket that requires a mount, or an over the shoulder pack. My idea differentiates from the competition by meeting the needs of bicyclists who prefer not to use any of those products yet still want the ability to carry miscellaneous items.
