About: Bikepackers Foundry is a female-owned business that creates and handcrafts original ultralight bikepacking gear, using high-quality materials combined with robust designs and attachment systems. All products are designed to effectively utilise and access space on bikes. Since 2020 my innovative products have included StraddleBags, FenderBags, BottleCradles, dropper post SeatBags, BikeHandles, the FireballBag, and now the HandlebarBag+. To help give back to the bikepacking community, the site also has ultralight DIY and usage ideas contributed by my dad. There are no affiliate links on this website. Everything is purchased, developed, handmade, and tested with my own money!
Bikepacking with a vintage 26’er demonstrates the versatility of the luggage systems.
