Anyone who regularly cycles to work knows the challenges: changeable weather, a lack of storage space, or poor visibility in morning traffic. With the right equipment, the daily commute becomes not only less stressful, but also safer and more efficient.
A high-quality rain gear—consisting of a jacket, overpants, and possibly overshoes — will keep you dry. Make sure you choose breathable materials so you don't break a sweat. Models that pack down small and can be easily stored in your bike bag are particularly practical.
Anyone who commutes by bike needs storage space – for a laptop, a change of clothes, a lunchbox, and more. Traditional backpacks can quickly become uncomfortable and leave your back sweaty. The clever solution: a waterproof bike bag with a simple click system.
This bag scores in several ways:
Quick to install: Thanks to the Klickfix system, the bag is attached to the luggage rack in seconds.
Suitable for everyday use: 12 liters volume, a padded inner compartment and space for A4 documents.
Waterproof & reflective: Ideal for changeable weather and good visibility in traffic.
Elegant & functional: The silver design is stylish and fits perfectly into everyday urban life.
👉 Conclusion: If you are looking for a practical and stylish solution, this bicycle bag with Klickfix system is the best choice.

Good lighting is essential, especially during the darker months or when starting work early. Pay attention to:
StVZO-compliant LED lights front and rear (with battery or hub dynamo)
Reflectors on pedals, spokes and clothing
Reflective elements on bags or jackets for increased visibility in traffic
Even on short trips, things can go wrong. The following items should be in every bike bag:
Mini tool (multitool)
Spare tube or repair kit
Small pump or CO₂ cartridge
Chain oil (especially useful in winter)
If you don’t have a shower at work, you can still start the day fresh with simple means:
Wet wipes / washcloths
Deodorant
Change shirt or shirt
Store a compact toiletry bag in your bike bag
Especially in the city, a good lock is essential. Recommended:
U-lock or folding lock with high security level
Combined with a frame lock or a second lock to secure the front or rear wheel
