Bicycle accessories can make or break any ride. Bulky bike bags or finicky water bottles can be distracting and make the ride a lot less enjoyable, and a lot more stressful. Sometimes the aesthetic of an accessory outweighs its functionality and its unique look isn’t able to ditch the stress it causes. In designing a bike storage bag that’s as mobile as it is sleek and simple, Happy Buddha Design Studio has created Mix Bag, a multi-functional and detachable bike bag that also integrates a rear light for safe travel come night.

Many modern bikes come with a rear light, signaling to the trailing traffic behind the rider that they must share the road. Often, when bike storage bags are attached to a bike behind the rider, that rear light ends up getting covered, making for unsafe riding at night and busy streets. The Mix Bag from Happy Buddha integrates a translucent compartment area and accompanying rear signal light for their storage bag to assure riders that they’ll be seen on the road even at night.

To attach Happy Buddha to their bicycle, users simply slide the Mix Bag’s translucent plastic covering onto the rear light and both can then be connected to the bicycle. The rear light projects onto Mix Bag’s plastic top to increase its visibility and brightness for nighttime riding and packed city streets. Whenever the user’s bike is left unattended, the Mix Bag itself can easily be dislodged from its joined rear light, providing portability and an added sense of security.

Ensuring that the Mix Bag is weatherproof, the designers at Happy Buddha constructed it from waterproof nylon fabric, as well as PC and ABS plastics. Pairing its durable build and slim design with intuitive assembly and attachment, the Mix Bag does not require tools or instruction for setup. With weatherproof tailoring, a clever space-saving design, and portability made simple, the Mix Bag was designed for smooth rides.

To install the Mix Bag, slide the storage bag onto the detachable rear light and connect both to the underside of the bike’s seat.

The Mix Bag is detachable to allow for portability when your bike is left unattended.

Coming in either black or white, the Mix Bag embraces a neutral color scheme for ultimate adaptability.

Even at night, the Mix Bag’s translucent plastic top signals to the traffic behind you that you’re sharing the road.

The Mix Bag’s compact, yet roomy build allows for accessory storage for smartphones, keys, wallets, and the likes.

City bicycles are diverse. Some of them are designed to carry heavy loads, others for speed. What if bicyclists want to use their bicycles for more than solely speed performance – but also for logistics. What if they don’t want to be forced, to always wear backpacks, even if they only want to carry a raincoat, EDC, or basic shopping supplies. The AEROCARRIER gives bicycles the additional storage they deserve. Just like most scooters which come with storage below the seat, the AEROCARRIER straps to the back of any cycle seat, giving you 3 liters of fully secure, waterproof storage. Designed to bring the perspective of basic logistics to an otherwise designed-for-performance machine, the AEROCARRIER lets you carry supplies and emergency items like reflective vest, med-kits, or even spares like bike-tubes or a repair kit. It brings the practicality needed on city cycles.

The AEROCARRIER was designed with a clear necessity in mind. Realizing that they couldn’t carry items in their pockets every time, or lug a backpack around any time they wanted to ride a bike, Berlin-based designers and cycling enthusiasts Inga and Romain designed the very product they needed. The AEROCARRIER secures itself to practically any bike by fastening to the seat and having support structures resting on the rear wheel’s pillars. Made from aluminum and light ABS, the AEROCARRIER weighs a mere 700g and is a storage and versatility powerhorse. The storage unit is completely waterproof, making it a better alternative than your backpack, and even supports extra accessories, like the attachment of pannier bags, along with a dedicated area to mount an electric taillight when you need. Additionally, because the AEROCARRIER is waterproof, it acts as a rear fender of sorts.

The AEROCARRIER can take roughly 35 times its own weight, with a maximum capacity of 25 kgs, that’s including any boxes or bags you may strap to it or secure on top of it with AEROCARRIER’s in-built elastic strap. The 3 lever lock on the basket gives it a great amount of security (much more than your backpack), and its ABS and aluminum construction prevent it from being slashed or opened with brute-force too easily. Plus, its streamlined design does a pretty good job of complementing most bicycle designs!
