Abstract
A bag formed of sheet fabric material and adaptable for convertible use as either a pannier on a cycle or a backpack includes front and rear panel sheets having similar shapes and joined by a side panel. The bag has the form of an isosceles triangle, with a greater height than base, and with a truncated rounded apex. Part of the line of joinder of the side to the front panel is formed by a zipper extending along one side of the base to the rounded edge to provide access to the bag. A first webbing reinforcing strip is attached to the rear panel alongside its base edge. A second webbing reinforcing strip is attached to the rear panel, parallel to the base, between the side edges, a short distance from the rounded top. A pair of short straps are attached to the first reinforcing strip at spaced points and snap fasteners affixed to their secured and free ends allow the bag to be attached to the carrier of a cycle so that the base edge of the bag is aligned with the carrier and the bag projects downwardly with its rear sides along the wheel of the cycle. A pair of wire rings attached to the second reinforcing strip at spaced points are adapted to secure back-pack straps so that the bag may be carried with its top between the shoulders of a wearer with the rear panel adjacent the back and the base edge forming the bottom.
