Born on a beach

Why we created the Chonus bag

There's just something about bikes

Bikes are just cool. Just a 5-minute ride elicits a positive mood change, doesn’t it? And while we still love our mountain and road bikes, it seems like we spend much more time on our beach cruisers running errands or just riding around town.

Cyclist with Backpack

But there was a problem

The more we rode, the more we wanted to carry more stuff around. Our old backpacks did the trick for years until we got tired of sweaty backs… every… time… we… rode. Not cool… So we looked around for other options. 

And no appealing solution

Do we go with a front basket or maybe a rear rack over the back tire? Both would get the weight off our backs, but we didn’t like any of the options we found at the time. So we stuck, reluctantly, with our backpacks.

We didn't like anything we saw

While chilling on Hermosa Beach one day, watching the cruisers ride up and down, we  wondered why all the baskets were so dull. There were metal wire, girlie wicker, and even the odd milk crate strapped to a rear rack.

So we created something new!

That’s when we decided to create something new. Something that would not only be as functional as a traditional basket but would actually look great on our bikes. That was the start of Chonus.
