bike bags?

[caligurl]

just thought I'd throw in my .02 as I really like my handlebar bag. Its pretty sleek (as handlebar bags go) but I can carry an extra water bottle my camera, my gu etc. and it does become a fanny pack if you wanted to take if off. Here's a picture (ignore the goober rider )

I do also have a bag under my seat as well. I normally ride by myself and just feel more secure having more 'stuff' with me I guess.

Good luck w/your search!

oh good picture, tracy!!!!!!!!!

that's the bag i have... and i couldn't live/ride without it! not too big.... but carries a LOT! i can carry 2 propel bottles (that i fill with gatorade).... then throw them away as i empty them.... that still leaves me my 2 water bottles (that i only ever put water in!) i can carry my jacket in there either for when i need it or after i take it off! holds the camera... house key... cell phone (in a little outside zippered pocket! same for the car keys.. they go in the other zippered pocket!) i pin any ride numbers to my bag... i refuse to put pins on my expensive jerseys!

i keep my chapstick in there... it's less apt to melt in the bag then in a pocket! it also holds the battery charger for my edge when i use it!

everything/anything i need... is right there available for me to grab!

oh... and i have my cute little handlebar bag on my ruby pro... yep! that's right!

(my under the seat bag holds my spare tubes, CO2.... tool... etc!)

by the way... it's a topeak! compact handlebar bag.... i got mine at bike nashbar.. they often have it on sale for as low as 19.99! like tracy said... it can be a fanny pack... they give you the strap you clip on... i leave that at home! you also get a yellow rain cover! it has a velcro-able divider... i didn't used to use it... but after i got my new camera... i stuck it in on the end... holds my camera away from sweating bottles... or anything else that may scratch it!
