ok i just discovered bento

[katluvr]

I do "bump" it but haven't really had those issues.
It is true...having a "small bike" and short reach has it issues. I do bump into it more when I dismount and stand over it.

I think the fuel belt one is better than the starndard bento if that is your issue. I think the small one fits snugger. But it is a hard case.
On the other hand the other one has some plastic "stays" that can be removed so it is softer sided.

But I could NOT live without it!

Those are cool Doesn't look like the site actually sells them - any clue where does? I've been looking for a (relatively) inexpensive one for lunches

And I like the other "bento" too

I love bento! Both for the bike, and for my lunch.

I've been using all kinds of bento boxes pretty much my whole life. And now that I live in Seattle, they're *so* easy to find. But, they're completely addictive. (Just a friendly little warning.)

CA_in_NC, do you have any Asian grocery stores in your area? That's usually a sure place to find them. A little poking around online will reveal lots of resources for ordering.

I have a BentoBox for the bike, and probably won't ever find the Bento lunches here in the swamps of the Big Easy. Heck, we JUST got decent Mexican food.

bento or o-bento means lunch in Japanese.

My mother used to pack mine with white rice, cooked vege, a little piece of meat, and a pickled plum called umeboshi in the middle.

On other occasion, she would pack it with scrambled egg seasoned with soy sauce and bit of sugar, not enough to taste sweet but enough to bring out the taste of the egg.

OH!!!!!!!!
Guess I assumed the one for the bike not the other ones! One track mind.
Hey, but those "non-bike" related ones are cool, too!
