Abstract
Abstract A reinforced bicycle pack includes a bag having a back, front, top, bottom and two sides, with a sleeve on each side extending from the back bottom area toward the front top area. The support frame has a lateral portion extending along the back top of the bag and leg portions which extend downwardly toward the bottom of the bag. The two leg portions end in two angled portions which extend from the back bottom area toward the front top area of the bag. One of the leg portions is received in each of the sleeves to support and erect the bag. There are means for attaching the lateral portion to the bag and for engaging the horizontal portion with the bicycle.
