My clever husband....

He took a Filson brand canvas shoulder bag and adapted it as a front touring bike bag on his Rambouillet:

He'll be riding it on his first century on Saturday with a friend.
He did the same thing and made 2 panniers out of Filson bags as well.

(I'll be home shoveling two pickup truck loads of mulch into place that Saturday, drinking iced tea, eating ice cream, and gardening all day)

I like how you spend your Saturdays . . sounds more relaxing than your DH !! Wising him luck on his first Century.

Blessings!!

Nice bag, nice bike, nice colors , but I think you got a raw deal.

The iced tea and gardening sounds okay, if it's not too hot -- but that's a heck of a lot of mulch to spread by yourself!

I love your husband's bag. I guess I need to google Filson bags, because that's a new brand to me.

never heard of them either but it does look nice!

I love the bag. I'd like to be at your house with you in your garden drinking ice tea. Or maybe just bring my bike there and go on a ride with you.
I'm so sad with all the rain we have been getting we can't get out and do anything.
Can I come play with you in your garden?

Filson is a very old company that makes classic outdoor clothing and camping gear. They don't make bike bags, but my DH made panniers and a front bike bag out of Filson's "field bags".

And hunting and fishing bags.
I was once enveloped in a bear hug by the Delta baggage claims manager in Salt Lake City. My Filson bag had gone astray and he was waiting on pins and needles to find out whose it was and was overcome when he discovered a woman owned it.

Fortunately, my husband is very tolerant of such things.

And if you want to go classy leather (though heavy), you could modify a JW Hulme bag.

No, that's my choice!- I can ride whenever I want to- and I do!
But I'm looking forward to putting in the mulch and seeing how lovely my gardens look afterwards- can't wait!
