Finally, a Bag That Fits the Tiny Rack on Bike-Share Bikes
Never awkwardly stuff your backpack into a front rack again.
The manufacturers of the Bixi — that ubiquitous bike-share technology in a dozen cities, including New York, D.C., and Chicago — are proud of the "attractive and practical luggage rack" they provide for the front of each bike.
