Abstract
A fastening device for alternatively fastening bags (4, 5, 7, 8) on a bicycle consists of a hanging device arranged on an upper fitting, which engages a fastening device located on the bicycle frame or a reception device, forming a knapsack (84) together with other bags (4, 5, 6, 7, 8). Whereas the fittings of the front wheel bags (7, 8) are equipped with hanging elements, the fittings of the rear wheel bags (7, 8) are provided with reception devices. The rear wheel bags (7, 8) may be linked to the bicycle frame by means of a carrier fastened only to the saddle support. Thus the bags (4, 5, 7, 8) may be in no time and in a modular manner, by insertion, mounted on or dismounted from the bicycle or assembled together into a knapsack and disassembled.
