OlyBikes is committed to bicycle commuting and bike touring.
We only sell stuff we believe in. That's why we carry panniers by Cobbworks and Ortlieb.
We also sell racks, of course!
New! --> Check
out our Bike Touring Article!
Prices may vary from those posted below, and don't include shipping and handling.
Cobbworks
Cobbworks panniers are made locally in Olympia, out of 95% recycled materials.
They look weird compared to most panniers, but are affordable, durable and
have many uses. Not the best forhauling books due to their dimensions, but
otherwise great panniers. Visit us and you'll see
scores of them (sightings around Portland and Seattle not uncommon either).
Oysterbucket Panniers
- Sturdy: constructed of high density polyethylene, with
stainless steel and aluminum mounting hardware.
- Waterproof: inside and out -- take pet goldfish for a
ride!
- Roomy: each bucket has a 4 gallon capacity. Inside dimensions
are a 9"X9" square at top, tapering to a 8.25"X8.25" square at
bottom, by 13" in height.
- Lightweight: 5lbs., 3oz (2355 grams) per pair.
- Easy to Use: nylon webbing straps enable easy loading/unloading
of pannier and lid removal. They also have a comfy carrying handle
for off-bike transport.
- Smart: buckets mount flush with racks to allow further
cargo loading, and are compatible with most racks. Hardware is
stainless steel and aluminum (wont rust). All stickers (amber
front, and side logo panels, and red rear-facing panel) are reflective
Scotchlite.Labels/look of pannier subject to change without
notice.
- Versatile: buckets are available with or without S-hooks
to adapt them to racks regardless of whether
or not the rack has "lower mount prongs". When it doubt, get
buckets WITH s-hooks.
- Upgradeable: Cobbworks
offers several options for upgrading buckets to make them
even more useful. By far the best option are the Expedition Straps
-- money very well spent!

Office Bag
- Practical and Full-featured: The Office Bag is a briefcase that mounts on a bike rack. It has a padded handle and shoulder strap, an organizer pocket in contrasting color for pens, cards, and diskettes. The Office Bag is one of the few panniers on the market that is self-standing, thanks to its stud-feet (they also prolong bag life by avoiding fabric abrasion). This bag comes in two sizes (see below), but we humbly suggest the larger of the two.
- Super-adaptible: Ortlieb's QL2 mounting system allows this pannier to be mounted on most any rack made -- no tools required! Can be converted to mount on either side of the bike.
- Waterproof: Heavy duty coated Cordura with Roll'n'Snap closure system keeps contents of bag completely dry. No rain cover needed.
- Dimensions, Volume, Weight: Medium: 16x4x12H" 795cu.in. 1150g/40.6oz.
Large: 16x7x12" 1280cu.in 1350g/47.6oz.
We heartily suggest the larger bag (the "medium" is really
small).

Office Bag Price: $125"medium" (very
small) & $135 large (our recommendation).
Available in black and graphite/black (grey/black).
