Road Runner Bags are handmade in the heart of downtown Los Angeles, with color and flair. Meet their brand new bikepacking lineup…

Road Runner Bags are a small storefront maker in Los Angeles, California, where they sew a variety of messenger bags, rack-top bags, and accessories. Their new bikepacking line – the Jumbo Jammer, the Pilot/Co-Pilot and the Buoy Bag – inject the company’s distinctive styling, and a dazzling palette of colours and patterns, into the often ninja black and camo world of bikepacking.

First up is the Jumbo Jammer, big brother to the company’s popular Jammer, a bag designed to be mounted either on the handlebars for dirt/singletrack use or below the seat, for road use. Easy access, a massive, expandable internal space, solid mounting points, and a rugged, waterproof build take precedence over weight.

Manufacturer’s description: As Jumbo as Jumbo can be! This bag was designed with the casual cyclist in mind but one that is also willing (and desiring) to get a little rowdy now and then. Don’t let your gear keep you from exploring local single-track. “Rugged riding ahead? Bring it!” The Jammer bag is a unique high volume, rackless, universal handlebar/saddle bag. This bag was designed with you in mind! This bag is perfect for city commuting/road touring/dirt bike packing or casual beach rides – load it up with the essentials and have plenty of room for more gear. This bag was designed by cyclists for cyclists! It is easy to use, fun to ride with and a treat when you need it; forget your bike is loaded down with the help of the Jammer! Lightweight, durable and water resistant! There are two external expanding front pockets with a flap lid. The lid has a 2″ strip of 3M reflective and a blinky light loop directly above. This bag was made for either front (for dirt) or rear (for road) use and will accommodate a variety of bikes, handle bars and different riding styles. The closure straps (C.W.S.) were designed to give adjustable positions for the optimal weight to tension ratio. You can load this pup up and really cinch it down to create a stiff and compact bag with minimal sway or sag when mounted appropriately. The bag has an internal structure to give form and an internal stiffener which will not bend or break.
