Saddle post bags or saddle bags are now very common among cyclists and are often used. If longer tours are planned, they are a good alternative to a bulky backpack, as they offer space for small change, keys, tools, water bottles or a first aid kit despite their size. Nevertheless, there are not only supporters of seat post bags, but also at least as many critics. The advantages and disadvantages of seat post pockets are listed below. It also explains who they are suitable for and who should prefer the classic backpack.

Bicycle & E-Bikes: Bicycle seat post pockets Video Guide

If the bags are professionally fastened and bring a certain quality with them, they have many advantages for cyclists. On the one hand, the most important utensils have space here, so that on shorter tours even a bicycle backpack can be completely dispensed with. Of course, the first aid kit or the bicycle pump are not excessively heavy, but many cyclists find a backpack uncomfortable, especially when temperatures are very hot. If a long tour is planned, the backpack naturally offers more space than a seat post pocket. Some seat post pockets have reflectors sewn on or have a mounting option for a rear light. This has the big and important advantage that you are always well seen, even in poor lighting conditions. It should never come to that, but it cannot be excluded: the fall. A rucksack is of course not an advantage in the event of a fall, as it poses a high risk of injury. This is especially aggravated by bulky or heavy objects in the backpack. With a seat post bag the danger is clearly smaller.

Besides its many advantages, a seat post bag also has a few disadvantages. It is therefore essential to ensure that the bag is not too wide or too large, which could otherwise rub against the thigh and can become very painful in the long run. In addition, a seat post pocket must always be securely fastened. Otherwise there is a danger that it could get lost in the field. If the bag is not fastened correctly, you must also expect annoying rattling when driving. Since the seat post pocket is located near the rear tyres, a lot of dirt often accumulates on them. They must therefore be cleaned accordingly often. Caution: If a seat post bag is too full, this can have a negative effect on riding. The balance can be lost

As has become obvious, there are as many advantages as there are disadvantages. Whether a seat post bag is chosen – and if so, which one – is of course always a question of taste. So that as many contra-arguments as possible can be circumvented, a few things should be considered when buying. It is essential that the seat post pocket is waterproof. Otherwise, their contents quickly become clammy or wet when wet, damp or foggy. The bag holder must always be designed in such a way that it can be firmly and stably attached to the bicycle. A modern “click system” enables the bag to be easily attached to the bicycle and detached again in a short time. Before the long tour begins, it is important to check that the seat post pocket does not sway when riding and may lead to a loss of balance. It is particularly important that the bag should never be wider than the saddle itself. For shorter tours saddlebags are a real alternative to backpacks. Touring bikers or racing cyclists will benefit from the advantages of the seat post bag, while mountain bikers should rather do without it, as they are rather impractical due to the susceptibility to dirt and the bump on a mountain biker.
