Cycling Weekly Verdict

Stubble&Co’s Roll Top backpack is waterproof, robust, and packed full of useful little features which make it well suited to use when on two wheels. It might be a little expensive, but its performance does justify its price – and it is still much cheaper than some backpacks designed for cycling. The only area in which I think it could be improved is the addition of a better system for securing a helmet when not in use.

After winning the 2019 National Single-Speed Cross-Country Mountain Biking Championships and claiming the plushie unicorn (true story), Stefan swapped the flat-bars for drop-bars and has never looked back. 

Since then, he’s earnt his 2ⁿᵈ cat racing licence in his first season racing as a third, completed the South Downs Double in under 20 hours and Everested in under 12.

But his favourite rides are multiday bikepacking trips, with all the huge amount of cycling tech and long days spent exploring new roads and trails - as well as histories and cultures. Most recently, he’s spent two weeks riding from Budapest into the mountains of Slovakia
