Bike Bags
Using a bag while cycling improves comfort and reduces sweating from lugging a rucksack on your back. Depending on the type and size of the bag you are using, you will be able to carry larger and heavier loads. If you are unsure what bag or how to install your bag to your bike, pop into one of our Dublin stores, and we will be happy to help.
What Type Of Bike Bags We Stock
- Panniers: These are bags that hang on racks attached to the front or rear of a bicycle. They come in pairs and are commonly used for touring or commuting. Panniers typically have large storage capacities and are often waterproof to protect your belongings from the elements. A pannier bag is best for carrying everyday essentials. The Altura Thunderstorm Adventure Pannier 25L bag provides a flexible capacity with its roll-top closure.
- Handlebar Bags: These bags are smaller bags that attach to the handlebars of bicycles. They are ideal for carrying items you want to access while riding.

Bicycle Racks
Whether you use your bike to commute, get things done or take longer trips, you will need a way to carry all your essential bits and pieces. A solution to carrying all your essentials on your bike is a pannier rack. A pannier rack is a special mounting system that allows you to attach your pannier bags to your bike. When using a bicycle rack, ensure the weight is evenly distributed for extra comfort. Not only do they have the ability to carry a pannier bag, but if you want to add on something else, you can also use straps like the RSP Luggage Elastic Strap to secure items on your bike carrier, which we stock in 3 sizes.

They are mounted onto your bicycle and can be fitted at the front or rear of the bike. Here at Eurocycles, we stock a variety of bike baskets for children and adult bikes. They can come in different materials, such as woven plastic, mesh metal, or a standard metal basket.
Common Types Of Baskets For Bikes
- Front-mounted baskets: These attach to the handlebars or the front fork of the bicycle. They are convenient for accessing items while riding and provide a clear line of sight for the rider. Front baskets often have a quick-release mechanism for easy removal when not in use. The Adie Front Mesh Basket with quick release allows you to transport your goods the traditional way. It is suitable for all road and mountain bicycles. When you take the basket off, the convenient handle makes life easier.
- Plastic Baskets: These baskets are more durable and weather-resistant. Again, they are mounted to the front of the bicycle. A plastic basket is recommended for a kid's bike as it may get bumped, and they are affordable. Kidzamo’s small basket allows your little rider to carry all their important things with them, along their adventures.
- Metal Baskets: Similar to plastic baskets, the standard metal baskets are the more durable ones. They are often designed with wire mesh or solid panels and can withstand heavier loads without deforming or breaking. One of the most convenient ways to carry your items is the Adie Standard Basket. It is suitable for all road and mountain bikes as it is made from strong and durable metal.
When choosing a bicycle basket, consider factors such as the intended use, the size and weight capacity needed, attachment method compatibility with your bike, and personal preferences for style and material.
