Post Carry Co’s Loomer is a handlebar-on travel case

Post Carry Co. has officially unveiled its new Loomer travel case, a soft-shell bag designed to accommodate road and gravel bikes without requiring the removal of integrated handlebars. This innovation allows riders to transport their drop-bar bikes with cockpits fully intact, addressing a persistent logistical challenge for modern high-end setups. The Loomer joins a competitive market, positioning itself alongside established brands like Scicon, Orucase, and EVOC with its unique approach to bike packing.

This development is particularly pertinent given the widespread adoption of integrated cockpits in contemporary road and gravel bike design. While aesthetically pleasing and aerodynamically efficient, these one-piece bar-stem units present a significant hurdle for traditional bike travel cases, often necessitating complex disassembly and reassembly. The Loomer’s design directly tackles this inconvenience, offering a solution that could save riders considerable time and reduce the risk of damage or maladjustment inherent in frequent component removal.

Ultimately, the Loomer is a pragmatic response to an industry trend, offering convenience at a premium. For those who value their integrated cockpits more than their baggage allowance, it’s a solution that was, frankly, overdue.
