    Just as a heads up, i did a search on the forums on this topic but didn't find anything specific for bikers.

    Does anyone here have a good laptop bag or hardcase for a xps 16 that they could recommend for using when riding a bicycle?

    I just purchased a commuter roadbike and will be using a lot to get to work. I've had my awesome studio xps 16 for over a month now and want a good bag or hardcase as I bike to and from work.

    I did a little research and found this but the limit for these bags are 15in notebooks

    thanks for any and all help!

    For those interested in a bag that works well while cycling...i pulled the trigger on the Tom Bihn Super Ego and Brain Cell.

    It sits super comfortably while riding and most importantly, protects my xps 16.

    ^^Nice looking bag! Will encompass your 1645 very well & safely. Was it decently priced?

    Thanks, Cin. Before shipping the bag and brain cell came out to be just over $200. A small price if the goal is to protect the laptop

    ^^Very true, especially when biking if something were to happen ~ you would have that extra protection. : )
