Black Neoprene Backpack Magnetic I6011

Icon Urban Tank Bag I6011 Riding in the city holds many perils. Not only must we use the nimble nature of our bikes to survive the erratic movement of motorists, but if you park your bike there's a distinct possibility that some kid is going to steal your helmet. They're expensive, easy to resell, and not easy to track. I don't know about you, but my helmet lock is right next to my pipes for some reason, so I end up lugging my helmet around.

Icon will free your hands with their brilliant, versatile tank bag, which doubles as a backpack and helmet cradle. A magnetic tank bag is a convenient way to pack a bike. A neoprene pad prevents scratching while the strong magnets and handlebar strap keep it in place. The Urban tank bag stays where you put it, even under heavy vibration and high winds, but it still comes off easily when you want to leave the bike. When you do walk away from your machine, you can carry your helmet with you in a protective, neoprene sling.

Like any good bag, the Urban tank bag is water resistant, and it is constructed of sturdy ripstop material. There are plenty of pockets and a clear map pouch for anything at which the rider may need to glance. This is absolutely perfect if you're a student, and not a bad buy for anyone who commutes on their bike.

The only complaint I could muster about this bag was the offset position of the Icon logo (it makes me think the bag is sitting askew), so you'll know that this is a top of the line purchase. You can select from blue, yellow, gray, red, pink, or black.
