Bento Box. You've got to have one of these!

Heh, from your title, I thought you were talking about the Mr Bento, which I love too.

I put my camera in my bike bento. Perfect for snagging impromptu action shots while rolling!

-- gnat!


(from bike to work day, just pointing the camera behind me!)

My favorite map clip. I can stick a powerbar in there, too.

That's just what I'd like to do with my camera. I've never felt comfortable reaching behind me and trying to pull my camera out, then trying to slide it back into my jersey when I'm done.

I have one. I love it!

I have one and take it on long rides, but I have to say it bothers me a bit when fully loaded and I am climbing out of the saddle.

Ditto. It bugs me way too much when I climb out of the saddle (which I do a lot). I hardly ever use it.

FYI Bento boxes come in multiple sizes. The smallest one might work well on the bike with the steep top tube...

This is what I use. Works great.

DH puts his in a ziploc in a jersey pocket.

Here is two more options:

I don't have a Bento Box, but as far as the cue sheet holder goes; I've never understood why people use clips or clothespins... I've seen too many people have their cue sheets fly off in the breeze using that method.
I have a see through plastic cue sheet holder that I got at REI for about 7.00. My only issue is that both me and my bike are so small that it flaps on my knees at times. But, it doesn't really bother me.
I've thought of getting the Bento, but not sure how it will work with my very differently shaped tubes.

I have often thought about a Bento Box for my training/commuting bike, but this is the exact reason why I havn't succumbed...

And Cunningham, this forum is where I first heard about them - they're such a great idea

They come in 2 sizes and the large one does tend to sag to the side when loaded. I mostly use the small one for snacks and it doesn't shift .

I saw a Bento box at the century yesterday. Since my jersey was weighed down by all my Gu and Shot blocks, camera and keys I was oogling it from afar.
