What do you guys use for Hauling your gear around? I am looking for something that I can put my shoes / helmet and everything else in.

Just wondering what other people are using. Links / pictures would be great.

I just throw mine in the Xterra. Wumpus has a giant bag that we have to carry in a Kenworth when we go ride.

I don't know the quality of their bags now but I know a guy that has been using the same specialized bag for 11 years now without a single issue (well its looks like hell but still functions).
I have one of those older Specialized bags and it has held up really well. It has a pocket on one end for a helmet and one on the other for shoes. The big central area holds the rest of whatever you need. It is great for XC rides, but fills up fast when you put a full-face and some armor in it.

I have a nice size Nike bag that I bought The Sports Authority for like $40. It holds all my crap plus spare tubes, tools, etc. It even has a separate compartment to store my shoes. It looks real similar to this baseball gear bag.

I use an old soccer bag that has zip pockets at either end. I use one end for dirty/muddy stuff like shoes and gloves, and the other end has a first aid kit, cold pack, meds, tools, and some spares. Then the main area holds all my gear.

I have nearly the same bag for MX gear with boots and stuff in it, then I also have my new soccer bag with all my indoor/outdoor gear. I'm a keeper, so I have a ton of gear for that too.

this sounds weird but I use one of those plastic baskets you get at stores when you need something smaller than a cart (had it forever swiped it in college) Basically it holds my shoes, shorts, jersey,gloves and my helmet (in its pod). It works and carries well.


mine is just like this but blue with a Visa logo on it...

It's an old reebok bag I got for cheap. Made out of some waterproof material with too big side pockets for shoes and helmet.

Look at tennis bags. I think most 'bike' bags are overpriced.

Wumpus' bag is like this, but it's some sort of fabric, has handles and doesn't have wheels.

Someone was telling me about one that had a different pocket for your shoes and clean/dirty cloths. I just can't seem to find one out there
Just about any MX gear bag out there keeps boots seperate from gear if not more areas. And often there are mesh vented compartments so "soiled" gear can breath.

:D
