I just put a handlebar bag on my bike - wasn't sure if I would like it so I didn't want to spend a lot of money on one. I got a Nashbar bag ( on sale now for $9.9) and I really like it! I also got an extra water bottle cage (also from Nashbar) that will mount anywhere on your bike (Twofish Quick Cage Water Bottle Cage) - I have 2 like that now because the only spot that I could actually attach a cage to I use for a tire pump. I usually go for the most inexpensive solution until I'm sure it's what I want - later on, I'll upgrade!
