At Pyrene Bushcraft, we have selected bike bags made from durable materials, designed for demanding adventurers. Robust waxed canvas, meticulous finishes, and reliable attachment systems for worry-free outings, from day trips to multi-week expeditions.
Why choose your bike equipment from Pyrene Bushcraft?
Our bike bags are distinguished by their artisan craftsmanship and noble materials. The waxed canvas offers excellent resistance to water and abrasion, essential when mud splashes and bad weather are part of daily life. Unlike synthetic bags that wear out quickly, these models develop a patina over time and last for years.
Our range of bike equipment includes:
- Handlebar bags: attached to the front, ideal for quick-access items and weight distribution
- Frame bags: positioned on the top tube, perfect for small essentials
- Saddle bags: under the saddle, for less frequently used gear
- Compatible backpacks: versatile, usable on bike or foot
- Hydration accessories: water bottles and caps adapted to exertion
This equipment perfectly complements your backpacks for maximum versatility between riding sections and hiking trails.
Choosing your bike bags
Which bag for which location?
- The handlebar bag (handlebar bag) holds items you need while riding: map, camera, snacks, rain jacket. Positioned at the front and easily accessible, it does not hinder pedaling. Roll-top models ensure good waterproofing.
- The top tube bag attaches to the frame between the saddle and handlebars. Compact, it is suitable for small essentials: phone, energy bars, multi-tool. Its quick access without dismounting makes it a strategic location.
- The saddle bag (wedge bag or saddle bag) attaches under the saddle and to the seat post. It holds repair equipment, first-aid kit, or spare clothes. Less accessible while riding, it is suitable for gear used only during stops.
Bikepacking and bushcraft: what approach?
Bikepacking requires compact and lightweight equipment. Unlike classic bike touring with bulky side panniers, bikepacking distributes small volumes throughout the bike. This approach perfectly matches the bushcraft spirit: carry only the essentials, know how to improvise with the environment.
Your fire starting equipment, a versatile knife, and a water bottle form the base. Add a compact sleeping system and a lightweight shelter for autonomous nights.
Compatibility with your bike
Before purchasing, check compatibility with your bike. Handlebar bags require a suitable handlebar. Frame bags require sufficient space in the front triangle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are waxed canvas bags really waterproof?
Waxed canvas offers excellent water resistance and protects contents from showers and splashes. For total protection during heavy, prolonged rain, use dry bags inside for sensitive items.
Can I use my bike bags for hiking?
Some models, like roll-top backpacks, are designed for this versatility. Handlebar bags can be used as shoulder bags with a suitable strap.
What total volume for a bikepacking trip?
For one night of autonomy, count 15 to 25 liters distributed on the bike. For several days, 25 to 40 liters are sufficient with well-chosen equipment.
How do I care for my bike bags?
Rinse off mud with clear water after outings. Air dry. Periodically apply special canvas wax to maintain waterproofing.
