Apidura City Messenger Bag

Taking everything we’ve learned from years of creating technically advanced, lightweight gear used by cyclists in some of the planet’s most challenging environments, we applied our Precision Crafted, Adventure Proven expertise to the City Messenger. As part of our City Series, this waterproof messenger bag brings our expertise to the urban environment, offering a simple, durable and versatile carry solution for city life.

Designed to provide lightweight, waterproof storage for your devices and work essentials, the City Messenger helps you seamlessly transition through the city. The messenger bag has a stable and comfortable anatomical fit on and off the bike, with an easy one-handed zipless opening reflecting our less is more design philosophy.

The City Messenger has a tailored ambidextrous fit to suit every rider and features a protected device sleeve alongside internal pockets and a key leash. Subtle reflective details ensure you are always visible on the bike, but won’t draw attention to you or look like a bike messenger bag off the bike.

• Ambidextrous, stabilised fit
• On bike anatomy fit
• Internal device sleeve and organisation
• Easy opening
• Reflective exterior graphics for visibility
• Welded, waterproof construction

APIDURA

We’re an independent, family-run business of cyclists, makers and problem solvers, brought together by a shared mission to find better ways to explore the world by bike.

Apidura was born from necessity; pioneering ultralight, rackless packing systems to help us take our love of cycling further and allow riders to unlock their instinct for adventure. As devoted adventure cyclists, we design with our fellow riders in mind, creating products that address genuine needs and bring new value to the bikepacking scene. We create the best packs we can, using technical materials and precision crafting techniques – and when we find a way to improve them we do so straight away and without fanfare. We don’t do ‘seasons’, limited editions or discount our gear – we simply create the best possible technical bikepacking gear that’s built to last.
