What Is The Best Laptop-Friendly Bike Pannier?

3 things to consider when choosing a bag

There are a few aspects to have in mind when it's time to choose the laptop-friendly bike pannier that will suit your needs.

1. Will your laptop fit?

A laptop-friendly bike pannier is quite useless if you can't fit your laptop in it! Make sure your bike pannier is compatible with your computer.

2. What size do you need?

Laptop-friendly bike panniers come in many different sizes. Make sure that you understand what your needs are.

To do so, lay the things you'll carry along with your laptop on a table to visualize the space they take. 

Here is a guide to help you choose the size.

3. Is the bag designed to safely carry your laptop?

For obvious reasons, you'll want your laptop to arrive at its destination in one piece. The bike pannier has to have the right padding to prevent shocks.

Also, being caught in the rain with your computer is NOT desirable! The pannier must be waterproof or have a rain cover.
