Unlike other popular bike-bag brands, VIM purposely offers less styles and choices of bag because at VIM they know that the curved triangle shape bag is the ONLY bag you'll need. The brand identity is full of young attitude and vibrant colors, matching the VIM biking bags. The brand logo mimics the curves found in the bag, making them both recognizable - even when rushing through traffic. The VIM website also features a community for the ‘members’ or dedicated patrons - where people can connect, share their bike stories, ideas, and network.
