Review on 🚴 M-Wave Cycling Bag for Bicycles by Kevin Wilkins

My family uses these bags every day for about a month to carry groceries, school bags, bags, lunch and everything else. We installed them on three bikes with two different types of racks. These bags are amazing value, but you have to be willing to be sneaky to install them. The included mounting system is silly for any rack I've seen, except for the spring-loaded clip on the top guy. But once mounted they are solid and look good. I cut off all the straps and used zip ties (50 for $1 at my local hardware store) to attach the sides to the rack posts. There was no need to secure the top as the sides of all my racks were tight enough that the bags couldn't slide forward or backward. The plastic backing in each bag is not rigid enough to prevent the bags from bending under heavy loads. . This is also very easy to fix by inserting a piece of corrugated cardboard or mastic. Some racks don't require this, unlike the Blackburn design. The bags have reflective fabric on the back and sides that performs very well in our nighttime visibility tests, outperforming an SAE auto parts store plastic reflector in both brightness and viewing angle width. They are waterproof. This is a poor choice for those who want to be able to shoot them quickly. They look like they're meant to be permanently installed and forgotten until you need to wear something. Think of them as your bike rack. They don't protrude above the level of your rack, so you can easily put something large on them. We could carry jackets, backpacks, wood, and other large items by tying them together with elastic cords over a rack and stacking them on bags.
