WE LOVE BIKES
For FREITAG, it all started with the idea of a tough, water-resistant messenger bag. Since the first one-of-a-kind bags were made in the two brothers' living room in 1993, we've been bringing individuality and smart functionality to city life. The three Easy Riders are our latest love letter to getting around in the city and doing stuff your own way, even when you're on foot.
THREE BAGS FOR TWO WHEELS
Our three new bags are the perfect companions for short everyday or evening trips around your city, whether you’re on foot, on your bike, or mixing the two.
You can wear them as crossbody bags or attach them to your bike in just a few moves thanks to Velcro straps. The F140 FRAN handlebar bag stands out for its smart versatility. The asymmetrical F141 BERYL fits perfectly on your back or right inside your bike frame. The small F142 HEINZ has room for your daily essentials but will also turn heads as a saddle bag.
CELEBRATE CYCLING
The three bike-friendly crossbody bags will be available starting Wednesday, April 29, 2026. We’re celebrating the launch of the new bags with various activities at selected FREITAG Stores.

F140 FRAN
ABOUT F140 FRAN
The compact, boxy crossbody bag is the biggest of the three Easy Riders and can also be used as a handlebar bag on your bike when you take off the strap.
HOW F140 FRAN ATTACHES TO YOUR BIKE
The crossbody bag comes with a detachable shoulder strap that sports used truck reflectors. When you’re riding your bike, just take off the strap and attach your bag to your handlebars with the two Velcro tabs — closed and weatherproof or open like a basket. The zipper on the inner compartment is splash-resistant too.
F141 BERYL
ABOUT F141 BERYL
The asymmetrical crossbody bag fits perfectly on your back and almost just as perfectly inside your bike frame.
HOW F141 BERYL ATTACHES TO YOUR BIKE
To attach the slim crossbody bag to your bike, remove the shoulder strap with the reflectors. Then open the bag flap, close it again around the bike frame and secure it with the Velcro strap at the front or back of the seat tube. For quick access and safe, dry carrying, the outer compartment has a splash-resistant zipper.
F142 HEINZ
ABOUT F142 HEINZ
For anyone who likes switching things up: in just a few moves, the small crossbody bag goes from hanging on your back to hanging on your bike saddle.
HOW F142 HEINZ ATTACHES TO YOUR BIKE
The smallest Easy Rider also comes with a detachable shoulder strap with reflectors. Take it off and you can easily attach F142 HEINZ to the underside of your bike saddle with the Velcro tabs.
P.S. The exact same trick lets you attach the small bag to the shoulder strap of a bigger bag or backpack.
FOR YOU AND YOUR BIKE
The F140 FRAN handlebar bag sets the bar with its stand-out versatility, while F141 BERYL makes every top tube stand out as a frame bag. F142 HEINZ holds your small essentials and turns heads as a saddle bag.
FUNCTIONALITY & INDIVIDUALITY
All three bags are made from used truck tarps. That means each is one of a kind and comes in all the colors and designs we can source from Europe’s highways. And because they’re made from truck tarps, all three bags are naturally pretty tough and water-resistant too. Perfect for everyday city life, whether they're on you or your bike.
