Product Information
Full details
The VAUDE CityMe Bike Backpack is an 18-liter modular messenger-style bag designed specifically for urban commuters who need a seamless transition between cycling and office life. Its primary strength lies in the QMR 2.0 mounting system, which allows for quick attachment to a rear luggage rack and instant conversion into a shoulder bag, paired with a dedicated 13.3-inch laptop compartment. While it offers excellent versatility, users should note that the integrated light kit (OSRAM Light Me Up) is sold separately, requiring an additional purchase for maximum night-time visibility.
