CARRIDICE
Carradice: Handcrafted British Bicycle Luggage
Since 1932, Carradice has been handcrafting traditional bicycle luggage in Nelson, Lancashire. While the cycling industry constantly chases the next lightweight trend, Carradice has stuck to what works: rugged, completely waterproof Cotton Duck canvas and uncompromising build quality. Every single bag is still sewn by hand in their UK factory and signed by the maker. For touring cyclists, daily commuters, and audax riders, Carradice isn't just a bag- "it's an investment that will outlast almost every other component on your bike.
The Magic of Cotton Duck
The secret to Carradice's legendary durability is their heavy-duty Cotton Duck fabric. Unlike modern synthetic materials that eventually peel or degrade, Cotton Duck is a tightly woven waxed canvas that is naturally waterproof and incredibly breathable. It doesn't just survive the harsh British weather; it thrives in it. If you manage to tear it after years of heavy use, it can be easily patched and re-proofed, making it one of the most sustainable and reliable ways to carry gear on your bike.
Classic Saddlebags
Carradice saddlebags are an icon of British cycling. Ranging from compact bags for tools and spares to massive expedition bags like the Camper Longflap, they offer a secure, sway-free way to carry weight at the back of your bike without needing a traditional pannier rack.
Workshop Fitting
Setting up a traditional saddlebag perfectly takes a bit of know-how. Grant and our workshop team are experts at fitting Carradice Bagman supports and quick-release systems, ensuring your luggage sits perfectly clear of your rear wheel and operates smoothly for your daily commute.
