Words: Mylene Loumeau | Photos: www.thule.com

Cyclists can revel in the fact that stylish luggage creators Thule have launched their brand new smart bag and carrier system range for bicycles, the Pack ’n Pedal™.

Thule’s highly innovative design combine robust yet lightweight materials for a quality product, and now with the added convenience of Thule’s trademark smart solution – groundbreaking bike attachments. Smart to pack, smart to carry and smart on bike.

 

Thule South Africa will be releasing the Adventure Touring Pannier to the local market presenting two lightweight models. The smaller 16-litre offers just enough space to fit the extra gear you need to carry while touring and is ideal for front mounting. The larger 32-litre model is perfectly sized to fit all your important gear whilst keeping it safe and secure, and is ideal for rear mounting. Both models feature patent pending solutions that make them easy to carry – on as well as off the bike.

 

With the attention to detail you have become accustomed to with Thule, the Pack ’n Pedal™ Tour Rack will attach the Adventure Touring Pannier securely to your bicycle. The bicycle carrier rack fits virtually any bicycle and frame material, ideal for touring. The rack is also available in the Sport version.

 

Thule South Africa is also releasing a range of unique Pack ’n Pedal™ accessories and fittings.

 

1. The patent pending Pack ’n Pedal™ Handlebar Attachment has connections for two bags and comes in handy for those cyclists who want to fully utilise the handlebar space. The cool design means that you won’t mind leaving the attachment system on your bike, and attaching and removing bags has never been easier.
2. Items that require easy reach during your cycle can be kept in the Pack ’n Pedal™ Handlebar Bag.
3. Smartphones, keys and smaller items can be packed in the Pack ’n Pedal™ Bike Wallet – a small weatherproof wallet.
4. The Pack ’n Pedal™ iPad/Map Sleeve safely stows the regular sized iPad or a 10” tablet – perfect for touring or for the indoor trainer.
5. Thule’s Pack ’n Pedal™ Urban Totes* easily transform into a carry bag with comfortable handles or included shoulder strap for those few necessary items at the shop on the way home. *A tote bag is a large and often unfastened bag.
6. The Pack ’n Pedal™ Seat Bag is positioned under the saddle and offers a smart old-style foldout wrench kit that keeps track of your tools.
