BV Bicycle Commuter Carrier Trunk Bag with Velcro Pump Attachment - Perfect for Long Distance Riding

Troy Anthony: Bought one for my bike and one for my wife's. I bought a rear tire rack to use with this bag. The bag has handy velcro straps that easily secured the bag and keep it in place. The bag has a large middle storage area and easily holds my rain jacket, suntan lotion, and a few snacks. I don't use it for my water bottle as I have a dedicated water bottle holder on my bike. The bag does have two smaller side pockets that are good for slipping some energy bars into or will hold my suntan lotion instead of jamming everything into the big storage area. One of the things I really like the bag is that it is well made and keeps it shape. Even when empty, the bag looks nice on our bikes and not all frumpy and crushed. I guess on the downside, this is not some ultralight bag that you can squish into a backpack but that's not what I was looking for.

MRLMRL: I am very satisfied with this rear cargo bag. I mounted it on my rear cargo rack. I really like the size. I was looking for a bag that wasn’t so bulky and this BV cargo bag is just the right size. It’s spacious enough to hold everything I need- bike tools, spare inner tube, gloves, shirt, shades wallet, phone, with more space to spare for anything else. It has side pockets to hold flat items such as wallet or phone or cards, car keys. I don’t use the water bottle pouch as i have a cage on my bike frame. The water pouch will only fit small bottles with possibly up to 3” diameter. But that is just a bonus feature for what i bought it for. I wanted a bag bigger than a seat wedge but smaller than a standard cargo bag. Its very easy to mount with the velcro straps at the bottom of the bag. As for longevity, I cannot comment on that yet as i’ve only had it for less than a month. It sure looks very well made amd the material seems to be of top quality in terms of thickness and texture. Love this bag as it serves its purpose and looks really great. I laike the sloping aerodynamic shape that makes it look really sleek and blends well with my hybrid/ touring bike. I would highly...

Tomy: Overall, i liked the product. It is very convenient than having a back pack when riding your bike. The cons. The zipper holder is not that durable, made of cloth and just sewn, all the thread is coming our from pulling in closing and opening. A metal handle would have work better.

SeanSean: I purchased this product because, while small, reviews noted that materials were still decent quality. This was not the case. The straps that secure the bag to the bike ripped off after a couple rides on my way to work. I have also noticed many other rips and tears in the fabric appearing as well. The bottle holder is also a nuisance. If there is a bottle in the holder, it pushes against the main compartment and blocks the zipper so you cannot open the bag. The bag does earn some redemption points for all the compartments, however. Even thought the bag is fairly small, it can still hold everything I need to commute to work. Before all the tears, it was pretty slick looking too.

Overall, I regret this purchase. I would recommend others to spend the extra for a better quality item!

Side note: I replaced the ripped straps with some velcro straps ( Velcro Velstretch Strap 1 X 27-Inch, 2 Pack, Black (90441) ) which have been working great to secure the bag to the bike. (I have not had the bag fall off my bike during my commute since!)

boneill: Decent build quality. Not very big, but that was my intent.

Clara: perfetto-facile da montare/smontare, capiente, si adatta perfettamente al piccolo portapacchi della mia pieghevole senza dare alcun tipo di ingombro.
Dentro ci sta parecchiaroba, io ho messo pantaloni e poncho antipioggia, giacchetto leggero, catena con lucchetto nella tasca principale e nelle laterali invece luci di scorta e altri piccoli attrezzi che possono servire in caso di necessità.
Il materiale sembra buono - lo uso quotidianamente da quest'estate ed è ancora perfetto. Facile da pulire.

Adam Long: I recently purchased this item and I must say that for the price, it is an overall nice trunk. It fits on my non-matching rear rack just fine without issue. The internal capacity is fantastic and it easily hold my locks, tools and a 6-pack. I do, however, have a couple issues with it...
1) The water bottle holder is not very easy to use and it doesn't accommodate a standard bottle very well. The retention bungee loop makes it usable, though.
2) Although the trunk does secure well to the rack, I'm not a fan of the velcro straps. I'd much rather prefer quick-release clips or button snaps over velcro which will wear out over time.
Like I said, though, great for the price, but not perfect.

LezGrl79LezGrl79: At the time of this review it's winter. There was a lightning deal so I bought this sooner than I planned. The most I could do for now is attach it to my bike. I couldn't test riding with stuff in it as there's too much snow on the ground. So I will update when I'm able to do that.

As far as looks this is great. I love how it fits on my bike rack. It was easy to attach with the velcro straps. It doesn't get in the way of my seat. The bag also doesn't flop over when standing on its own. I had no issues with the zippers. They seem to be very sturdy and working correctly. I have a bike pump attached to my bike already, but I tested it on the spot dedicated for that and works there too just fine. There's also a strap inside you can attach if you want to use as a handbag and use on your shoulder so you don't leave the bag on the bike if you have to go inside somewhere.

There's also a spot for a water bottle that I can't test yet til I have one. But it's great to have a spot for that in case you can't mount one on your bike or need extra. The reflectors on the side work great also. There's plenty of room for storing snacks or bike tools, or even holding the bike locks that...

tealfishing: It's a nice compact bag that is sturdy and stores lots. It's great to have the water bottle holder on the back. I ride on some rough roads and it hasn't bounced out yet!

JEN: This bag is great. I have put it through some sort of hell already. I keep so many things in here and still have room for lunch. I have important things in this bag along with my pump. It fits an average water bottle and it is pretty elastic which was nice because if it wasn't that would be pretty useless. The 2 side pockets were very roomy also. I keep a first aid kit some food bars(2 because I bike trails) some cordage, batteries, lighting, and in the other side I put a poncho folded into a square in case of rain. I have put it through rain and snow this month but I have to add that I spray a waterproof coating on all of my bags. Either way this bag seems pretty solid when it comes to rain and snow. the main compartment has a pouch for the carry strap but I just left that out. If I need a carry strap I'll use cords. I have so much room in here I got some large pencil cases (soft) and separated everything from bike tubes, patches, etc things for repairs another case has things like tools I may need and the other cases I fit (3 more) are empty I just leave them there because old habits die hard. There is also a mesh pocket that is the same size as the whole main compartment which...
