The Bandito Bicycle Bag from Swift: compact, stylish, and built for gravel and road adventures. Perfectly sized for essentials like tools, snacks and a windbreaker, it’s equally at home on your handlebars or under your saddle.
The Bandito Bicycle Bag is the ultimate in no-fuss utilitarian carry. Versatile attachment points make this cylindrical pack a perfect fit both under your saddle or on your bars. A rigid plastic liner gives this bag structure and prevents sagging with heavy contents. D-rings on the side panels allow for off-bike carry with a Shoulder Strap, and a daisy chain of webbing across the front gives you opportunity to lash an accessory like a pump. Thoughtful and functional features abound in this small but mighty classic.
Made in Surabaya, Indonesia and Seattle, WA out of recycled materials. This product contains roughly 4 plastic bottles rescued from ocean beaches.

Attaching the Bandito Bicycle Bag to your bicycle is easy using the two 9″ Swift Straps included with your purchase.
For attachment to your bicycle saddle Feed the Swift Straps through the slots in the webbing that are closest to the center of the bag–you’ll find that the spacing is a perfect match for the standard spacing of the saddle bag attachment loops on a Brooks or Berthoud saddle.
To mount the Bandito to the bicycle handlebars Feed the two Swift Straps through the slots in the webbing closest to the outside edges of the bag, and attach the straps directly to your handlebars.
Whether attaching to your bars or on your seat, use the shock cord strap that feeds through the daisy chain to secure the bag around the seat-post or stem. It will prevent the bag from swaying or bumping upward.
Zipper is not a one handed effort that defeats my intentions for on the go access.

Bonito Bandito
Love my Bandito. It lives on my bike now. Very well made, just the right size, easy to install and remove. Wish I hadn’t waited so long to get mine!

Best handlebar bag
Fits a burrito, or two. Three if they go easy on the fillings. In all seriousness, this is the best and sexiest handlebar you can get :)

Compact but Holds Plenty
I first used a friend’s Bandito Bag and decided that I needed one of my own. It is easy to install on the bike and then remove when not using and I like how stable it remains even while riding over rough roads. It is great for carrying lunch and extra clothing on longer rides.

Perfect for daily rides
I've got this strapped on the tops of my bars of my All City Zig Zag 105 and it's the perfect size to stash a chain lock, rain poncho, tools, wallet, keys, and an energy bar. Doesn't make the balance of the bike feel awkward (even hands-free) and looks killer like all Swift stuff.
