Spencer Harding's review of our Anywhere Panniers
4 days ago
·
I've been saying for years that the Jammer is the best bag Road Runner Bags has ever created. Rolltop backpack sales numbers will prove me wrong, but I stay away from riding in backpacks these days, hence the pannier review.
Bikepacking the Pacific Northwest
My name is Matt, and I've been on the Road Runner Bags team since 2017. I operate our CNC machine and sew backpacks most days. Recently, I took some time off to bike down the Pacific Coast Highway. I started in Portland, Oregon, and ended in Northern California amongst the redwoods. I hope you enjoy the ride report and consider this route for yourself!

Handmade in Southern California since 2010. Our multi-talented sewists know which stitch length is necessary for external stitches, interior structural stitches, liner stitch length, and sew on. In addition, they know the size of all webbing cuts and what bar tacks go where. All of that combined brings you our quality, USA-made bike bags.

2021 Bikepacking Frame Bags
2020 has been a trying year for all, but the least we can do is keep our heads high and focus on the things that matter most. Family, for me, always comes first, and work comes second. Like most, I've had a hard time focusing on work and the more delicate sides of my job. Through all of that, though, I have managed to finalize a few designs. One of those designs is a long time coming; an extended version of our ever-popular Mountain Bike Frame Bag will be available in two different sizes. Consider the current Mountain Bike Frame Bag a small, and we will be introducing a Medium and a Large version.
