    I have a hard shell seat , but I just realized , this one is probably for a high racer - mine probably wont have enough clearance to rear wheel.

    I have some special made bags, designed by a local rider that are Specifically for trikes. I will have some in the shop for folks to checkout during the rally.

    What kind of bike do you have and or a picture would help? A little bit about what you plan to take on your commute will also help in suggesting the right bag as well.

    bigger???

    Remember the bigger the bag, the more stuff you will find that you NEED to bring along. If wheel clearance is an issue, side bags may be a consideration.

    Thanks Neal , Jerry and Serenity .
    Yes I ride a Trike like in the Avatar - little hard to see from the angle that small pic is taken - I will have to get a side shot.
    I'm looking at some other alternative ideas at the moment,
    A side bag would work.
    I dont carry all that much to work - usually . . . However some times it would be nice to be able to carry a warm top.
    -
    I had a rack on my Trike which I removed to lean the seat back. There is a clearance issue with the the rack / tyre / seat combination.
    -
    I carry my usual load to work in a container the size of a 3 Litre drink bottle [ 3.1 Quarts ].
    Plus I have a 3 litre water bottle [ 3.1 Quarts ] strapped onto the back of the seat for drinking.
    -
    I am currently looking at Tail Cones to see how I can organize storage within one and whether I can fit the Tailed Trike in my storage area.
