The bike as a means of transport in the city is all the rage. Thanks in part to clever luggage carrier systems and stylish accessories for shopping trips. An overview of the latest pannier racks, shopping bags and bike baskets.

Accessories for shopping

If you don't want to fit a pannier rack to your bike or don't have a new type of system pannier rack on your bike, you can still set off on your shopping trip.

The accessories market offers a wide range of bags and baskets for these cases, which can be mounted on any carrier or simply on the handlebars.
