Cycling Emporium is an online marketplace for anything and everything bike-related. We have an exclusive collection of musettes to suit your style and preferences. Place an order today, and we’ll have it delivered to your doorstep as quickly as possible.

What is a musette bag?

In professional cycling, musettes are used to hold the food and water given to athletes in feed zones during races. Their long shoulder straps allow riders to grab them from a teammate without slowing down. They’re usually handed over on inclined sections where the athletes are going at a steady pace.

Musettes are also used by recreational riders to carry food and personal belongings when cycling. They are popular for other outdoor activities like hiking and camping. In addition, they can be used as tote bags for quick errands and grocery runs.

Cycling Emporium offers musettes made of heavy-duty cotton fabric to ensure durability. They come with snap closures that enable you to open and close the bag to access its contents easily. We also offer options with adjustable shoulder straps to allow a snug fit, so you don’t have to keep adjusting the bag during a ride. There are even models with reflective materials to help you maintain visibility in low-light environments.

The most common items carried in musettes include energy bars, gel packs, and sports drinks. Some riders also use them to take spare cycling clothing like warmers and caps.

Back in the early days of professional cycling, musettes were used to carry small sandwiches. However, energy bars provided a much more convenient alternative, which is why sandwiches are less commonly seen in races today.

Modern professional teams have dedicated chefs that prepare food packed in musettes. Riders can also request snacks and drinks like cookies, soda, or any other caffeinated beverage.

The musettes for sale on our website are suitable for both competitive cyclists and casual riders. Whether you’re preparing for a long race or want something you can take for errands, our offerings have something suitable for you. If you need more nutrition than an energy bar in your jersey pocket can provide, take a musette on your next weekend cross-country adventure.

How to wear a musette bag?

A musette can be worn as a sling bag or shoulder bag, allowing you to reach for the items inside, even when on the move. They’re usually made of cotton, so you can easily pack them in your jersey pocket once you consume all of their contents. They’re so versatile that you can even use them to bring snacks when you go to a friend’s place to hang out.

Cycling Emporium offers musettes that come in a wide array of colours and sizes. Some models have internal pockets for stowing your wallet or cellphone when you go on a quick grocery run. If you frequently go on night rides, the reflective material on some of our offerings can help you stay visible.

If you ride with a hydration pack, you can use it in conjunction with a musette. That way, you don’t have to store bottled drinks in the bag to make it even more lightweight.
