Shape Shifting
"A rectangular shaped sling bag that transforms into the size of a hand clutch... and vice versa."
With this design, we were able to use Rider Series bags per occasion, either as a rider bag, shoulder bag, or even just an iPad or laptop sleeve.
The Rider Series is framed with Dualcoat Water Repellent Nylon 500D Canvas, meaning that the profile side of bags are extremely pliable, capable of extending space in an instant. All it takes is a simple release of the 2 front leather fasteners, to fully release the rectangular interior space.
Expandable Compartment
In winter times, cycling to work can cause you to take your windbreaker jacket on and off, depending on how warmed up / cooled down you are from pedaling.
With the extendable bag space, you can stuff your jacket / garments / shoes inside, facilitating item storage and access en route.
3 pockets are aligned in the same height, with hidden zippered pocket for passport and wallet. The Lightning Rider also has a laptop compartment that can fit up to a 14” MacBook Pro.
The exterior zippered pocket fits 700ml water bottle, a suitable size for commuter hydration.

3-Point Stabilizing
When you are sprinting on a bicycle with your torso leaning down, the body of a shoulder bag can easily slide down to your belly, causing instability.
WOTANCRAFT's auxiliary fastener uses thick leather, with small hook buckle attached at the end. The base end of the fastener will be buckled to the bag, with multiple holes for adjusting length, making sure that the auxiliary strap is not too tight or loose.
When riding, clip the auxiliary strap to the "stud buckle" on the leather shoulder strap pad. The auxiliary strap will wrap around the arm, stabilizing the bag to the upper back. This reduces the "bounce" when riding at high speed and the bicycle starts to bump, giving the rider more stability and focus.
