If you are looking for the perfect backpack to go together with your Brompton here is an overview.
But first this:
We're people from a Brussels design agency (imaginif.com) who love traveling, commuting and riding Brompton bicycles!
In our search to enhance our Brompton riding experience, we encountered difficulties to find a solution to carry a normal backpack with our Brompton.
Brompton's own bags all have a frame inside attached, so that's not a solution since it's heavy and hurts on your back.
It took us quite some effort to attach our own Tumi backpacks to our Brompton. We finally found the right accessory with some supplier in China.
It is a front frame rack for your Brompton bike that allows you to attach any backpack with an "add-a-bag sleeve." An "add-a-bag-sleeve" usually serves to slide over another suite case trolley. It is "THE" solution for attaching a backpack, without a frame inside, to your Brompton. It is 20 cm wide (check your sleeve width) and 30 cm high. All the backpacks reviewed here fit on this front carrier frame. The frame locks on the original Brompton front carrier block. (not included) but you can get it here from our store. This is a straightforward, hard-to-find solution for attaching a backpack to your Brompton.
In this guide we help you find the best backpack for your Brompton to commute, travel for business and carry your laptop with you. Each backpack is judged for their special features, carry options and overall design.
