Xtracycle PorterPack

When the back of your bike is occupied by tiny legs, the front PorterPack is your go-to spot for stashing everything else. It’s a mullet that refuses to choose. It’s business and party in the front. In open-top basket mode, it’s the replacement for reaching over into the passenger seat to grab something from your handbag. It’s expandable, so don’t be shy, fill it up—groceries, (preferably clean) diapers, regrets, plants you’ll eventually kill, Chihuahuas—anything goes. The RackNRoll Top keeps that peach cobbler fresh and bug-free on your way to the picnic, and the mesh pocket is perfect for quick access to your phone, keys, wallet, and MapQuest print-outs. With reinforced fabric, heavy duty zippers, a solid bottom, and even a water-shedding enclosure, the PorterPack can withstand all the abuse you would subject your (now Craigslisted) car trunk to.

With the PorterPack, you can escape the joyous occasion that is stopping the bike, engaging the kickstand, and heading to the back to rifle through the bag stashed under your kids’ legs while they squirm because the sun is in their eyes and punch each other because siblings and kick you in the face because well why did you put your face so close to their feet in the first place and finally getting the bag open only to find the Cheetos are now just powder because apparently Jimmy was kicking the bag the whole time and now you need to reroute to a store for a new snack and OH MY GOD just stop. Breathe. And get a PorterPack.
