Visibility is essential when you’re riding your bike, especially when it’s dark or foggy out there. Purpose-built for cross-city commutes come rain or shine, the Mini Metro is a compact version of Chrome’s most iconic courier bag – and this attention-grabbing fog version is also fitted with reflective panels and trims to help make sure you stay safe and seen. But it is built just as tough as its bigger brother. The inside liner is crafted from truck tarpaulin, while the outer is made from military-grade nylon. And despite its smaller size, it’s packed with features, like Chrome’s signature metal ‘seatbelt’-style quick release buckle, which saves you from having to pull the strap of a heavy bag over your head. It even has a hidden extra – an integrated bottle opener so you can crack open a beer after a hard day’s riding.
Over two decades ago, Chrome made their first bag using a Juki sewing machine, a few yards of industrial-grade nylon, some military grade truck tarpaulin and a seatbelt buckle salvaged from an old car. That original messenger bag with its signature buckle was soon adopted by bike couriers across the globe and became an urban icon.
Today, Chrome Industries remain committed to making useful, durable gear for people who live, work and ride in the city. Everything they do celebrates the beating heart of the city and the unique collisions of creativity, culture and community that form the essential elements of urban life. These products are purpose-built for those who work hard, play hard and ride hard.
This bag is amazing, it's built like a tank and it's the perfect size if you're walking.
