A Complete Guide to Bikepacking

As the long winter nights draw in - in the UK at least - we're reminiscing of the roads we travelled in 2024. 

Dicky Boyd's 'Memory of a Road Trip' for #Inktober2024 not only caused us to look back through our own summer of riding archives, but it also shone a light into the wonderful world of inking. Thanks, Dicky!

Our Classic Saddlebag Rack hooks into your saddle's metal bag loops and is secured by a quick release strap around the seat post.

A tried and tested design for that old-school vibe.

It's made in Lancashire from coated steel.

Most sizes of saddlebags can be attached to the rack which also acts as an uplift to avoid interference with your back wheel.

When you stop, the rack and saddlebag can be lifted off with one hand, using the top bar as a carry handle.

The Carradice Camo Carry Case for your Brompton bike.

When travelling, keep your
Brompton bike covered and easy to carry in this tough, durable and stylish camo bag.

Once you reach your destination and unfold your bike, the case packs away into a neat pouch which attaches to the saddle.

Carry the case by hand, on your shoulder or as a rucksack to keep both hands free.

Made in Nelson, UK from 1000 denier military grade Cordura, it’s tough enough to withstand being loaded into cars, overhead luggage lockers and stowed away in train storage compartments.

The thick straps and quality buckles are more than strong enough to hold the
weight of your Brompton. The 3-sided zip makes it very easy to pack in your Brompton and a padded section on one side protects your back from the metal parts of the bike.

Head to the website to see our range of bags made specifically for your Brompton bike.

Thanks to @road.cc and @conunparderuedas for their reviews of our Baja Bar Bag. 

‘The Carradice Baja Bar Bag is well thought out and well specced for the money, and it looks to be tough as old boots.’ @road.cc 

‘SU ESTÉTICA Y ACABADOS SON EL FIEL REFLEJO DE LA ESENCIA DE LA MARCA, QUE CONSERVA ESE HALO RETRO-CLÁSICO QUE LA CARACTERIZA.’ @conunparderuedas 

Made in Nelson, UK, our Baja Bar Bag is a handy midsized (3.5 litre) bag for straight or drop handlebars requiring no special fixings. 

It comes with attaching straps plus neoprene foam spacers to hold the bag away from the bars allowing hand access. 

The end panels are now reinforced internally to maintain the bag’s shape. 

Constructed from tough, but lightweight 1000 denier Cordura, it’s strong and resistant to abrasion. 

Available in black, neon or camo as part of our bikepacking range.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to this year’s @veloretrouk - the retro and vintage cycling event held in the Lake District town of Ulverston. What a fabulous event!

We were happy to sponsor some prizes for the Best in Show categories and took a few snaps of the winners. 

Lovely to see so many Carradice saddlebags at the event - old and new. We think the most ‘vintage’ one spotted was from the 1940’s! 

After the festival events of Saturday, the retro rides took place on Sunday - into the beautiful Lake District. You could choose from the Saunter, the Loafeur or the whopping 99km Le Grande Fromage!

If this all sounds like your thing, keep an eye on @veloretrouk for info on next year’s event.

These superb pictures by photographer and cyclist @fergus_coyle are part of his study into the world of Audax. 

He interviewed fellow @audaxclubbristol member Rory Stuart @roryrideshisbike about his life on the road:

‘I enjoy the simplicity of it. I can zone out and be immersed in the landscapes and watch them change at a near imperceivable rate. 

I wouldn’t say it’s lonely at all. Sure you’re alone, but never truly lonely. ‘
