The next item to get after getting a trike!
I wasn’t certain if this would be a great decision, but as I was looking to do longer and longer rides, figured it was a good idea.
Turned out this was the best purchase yet. Super happy with them. They fit so well that you really don’t know they are there, no bouncing around or getting in the way. Plenty of storage space. In one I have spares – tires, tubes, tools and in the other food, extra bottle, phone and some other items just in case.
I’m going to keep these on even if I do a short ride even though it takes just a few minutes to get them on and off – they are light and out of the way, don’t think there is much of a penalty for having them there, and it provides security to both me and my spouse that pretty much no matter what happens, I’d be prepared (ok, shark attack would be a problem).
I’ve used other bags and containers and while each was ok, just not really that useful or they just seemed to not fit as well. Problem solved here – these are specifically designed to fit in a particular model (Expedition for me) and so the fit is spot on. So, if you need to store something, this is a great option (ok, maybe not for a tuba or harp but who knows, maybe Arkel has something for those trike-riding musicians?).
Good luck to all, stay safe on the roads / trials and have fun while you’re out there and if you get one of these bags, guaranteed you’re on the right path.
beautiful fit, great function
The fit inside the frame gives your trike such a sleek look, unlike most things that are added. Catrikes have graceful frame geometry and these bags function well without compromising the look of the trike. They hold more than you might think, too.
