City Loader

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The City Loader is the front bag I point every serious Brompton commuter toward because it covers every real-world need without compromise. The waterproofing is genuine, not just DWR-treated, the Fidlock buckle is a meaningful upgrade over standard hardware for one-handed access, and the rigid structure keeps the bag handling predictably even at full capacity. It transitions off the bike faster than anything else in this category."

The Brompton commuter's front bag needs to solve several problems at once. It needs to protect gear from rain without relying on a cover, carry enough for a full workday, mount and dismount quickly, and handle off-bike transitions without making you feel like you are lugging a piece of cycling equipment through an office lobby. The Restrap City Loader addresses all of it in one well-considered package.

The shell is 100% waterproof textured nylon with a tape-sealed lining, a construction that keeps contents dry in sustained rain without needing a separate cover or any additional protection. The two fold-closure waterproof compartments each seal independently, and the main compartment is secured by a Fidlock magnetic buckle that operates reliably with one hand, even with gloves on. An external adjustable strap across the front adds carrying capacity for a jacket, helmet, or dry bag without compromising access to the main compartment. Side compression pockets keep bottles, locks, or accessories snug against the bag on lighter load days, and the rigid internal and external stiffeners maintain the bag's shape and handling characteristics regardless of how much is inside.

Mounting is via the standard Brompton front carrier block interface, with compatibility extending to Brompton front lights, dyno lights, and front reflectors. Reflective detailing on the front pocket adds low-light visibility for early morning and evening commutes. Off the bike, a removable shoulder strap and integrated rear carry handle make the transition from rack to desk effortless. Handmade in the UK and backed by a lifetime warranty, the City Loader is built to be the last front bag a Brompton commuter ever needs to buy.
