Abstract
An assembly which provides a backpack convertible to bicycle panniers. The device provides a maximum amount of storage capacity and comfort to the wearer and a minimum amount of weight. A main storage element having three storage compartments carries a removable shoulder assembly. In the preferred form, two flat metal strips insert into sleeves on the back of the main storage element to provide a removable frame when the assembly is in the backpack mode. Also, preferably two side storage elements each having three storage compartments attach to either side of the main storage element. When the shoulder straps and frame are removed from the assembly, and the side elements are removed from the main storage element, the two side storage elements can be interconnected and mounted on the front rack of a bicycle to provide a front pannier element. The main storage element can be mounted on the back rack of a bicycle to provide a back pannier element. Further, preferably one side storage element can be removed from the main storage element and with a strap attached be worn about the waist of an individual.
