This sounds like those teensy circus cars with all the clowns climbing out. Or like the old student stunt of packing people into a phone booth. Or ... do you wear small shoes? If it isn't any of those, then I neeeeed a bag like this.Originally Posted by KnottedYet

Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.

How exactly does this attach? Looks neat, but not big enough to carry my laptop. *sigh*

Looks like a bar bag with straps around the bars. How wide is it?

It's a bar bag with a wooden rod/shaper on the inside near the top edge. The two leather straps that attach it to the bars go into the bag itself and are anchored around the wooden rod.
The wool waterproof versions have extra rings sewn into the sides so you can tie the sides of the bag to the bars so the bag won't swing. I had no issues with mine swinging. The bike cables run between the two cargo pockets and pretty much anchored mine in place.

The straps with buckles rather than velcro look nifty too.

We got them at the Rivendell place, so we were able to fondle all the bags. We both liked the waxed canvas the best.Last edited by KnottedYet; 03-30-2007 at 07:33 PM.
