Waterproof Bike Bags: what you need to know!
When commuting by bicycle you need to be prepared for all weather conditions. Especially here in the UK, you can guarantee that it will rain on your way to or from work, no matter what the season. However, you should not let that put you off commuting by bicycle. Not only do you need to keep yourself dry, but you also need to think about your belongings. You may have a phone, laptop, paper files and your work clothes (assuming you do not parade around the office all day in lycra shorts). Fortunately for you, you no longer have to carry all this in a backpack and risk them getting wet when you are caught in a downpour. BTR have some great waterproof* bags that attach to handlebars, under the seat or rear rack and offer great value for money, without compromising on quality.

These bags use a similar system to the dry bags used by sailors and swimmers. Ensure that you wrap the opening a few times and secure using the clips before you set off. You are all set if you can feel that air is not escaping when you squeeze it.
If you have already invested in a fancy new backpack, fear not, you can still benefit from the peace of mind of your belongings being safe and dry by investing in the BTR Easy Fit 2-in-1 Waterproof & High Visibility Rucksack Cover. It instantly transforms your favourite rucksack in to a Waterproof High Vis Reflective Bag! Try as you might, you cannot accurately predict the weather, but you can be prepared to not let the weather ruin your day.
Be safe, stay dry, be seen.
