Fernando A. Robert designed the Bike Backpack, which is much more than a regular backpack as it is made to hold large items including tires as the namesake suggests. Specifically, it is dubbed the Sherman Bike Backpack and it is defined by its tri-fold design structure which opens vertically similar to a flap.
The concept is that it provides space to hold items that are too large to carry in regular bags between the flaps. The sides open up to extend the space beyond the confinements of the structure itself. Additionally, users can also hand something outside of the bags and secure it by using straps. This way, they can carry up to two bike wheels which are thin and light enough to hold on one's back.
