But I don't need a saddlebag to look weird from behind, alas...
I'm in! For the jersey, too!
Unless we want to have our team name emblazoned on the seats of our shorts?

"chasing behind with my empty margarita glass"
See Knotted, red-faced and panting, pull a u-ee and head for the nearest outdoor bar-n-grill to get her glass filled.

I ride with a honkin' big pannier (left one) all the time. Today I rode farther than I expected. Emptied my bottle. No prob, got another one in the pannier! Hungry? Banana, Lara bar, Payday, Clif blox, Clif shot, walnuts in the pannier! Front fender had a nervous breakdown. Whaddaya know, I have a Leatherman and Park Tool I-beam in... the pannier! And once I got the whole thing off I stuck it in the pannier! Starting to rain? Rain gear in the pannier.
And pump, tube, hankie, sunscreen, lip balm, ouch-pouch, etc.
I also have a bungee cord wrapped around my rack. Just in case. I'm a belt-n-suspenders kind of gal!
(hey, I might need to carry a 12 pack of beer, too!)

Quillfred "Where's the blender???: eek:"
jobob's probably got one in that bag.

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!

I'd wondered about that -- only one? Does it not cause probs to have weight on one side and not both? Originally Posted by KnottedYet

It does pretty well holding stuff! When I went on a long ride recently I had a crystal Geyser water (I always feel better having that extra water - I guess I need to get another holder somewhere!), about 5 gu's and my camera, plus a few other odds and ends and it all fit fine. Its a topeak. I saw it on Caligurl's bike and really liked it because it wasn't very bulky. It also stands out from the bars a bit so I can still have my computer etc attached to my bars w/no interference. So far, I've been really pleased w/it.
btw, that basket for the back of the bike is really cute! If you get it, I'd love to see a picture on your bike!

That looks great, Tracy. I really like it.
My basket should arrive tomorrow, and I'll see how it works and take a pic!
Somewhere I saw a net that fits over the top of the basket to keep things from bouncing out -- but now I can't remember where I saw it! I guess I'll run across it again, and if I'm having that prob I'll order it.

LOL - having travelled a few miles behind you I can honestly say you dont qualify for Team Looks Weird From Behind - you just look like a well prepared cyclist and I think thats a GOOD THING. Originally Posted by jobob

Oh, of COURSE we used the blender waiting for dinner on Monday, though it was in a "no alcohol" park so it was bananas and yogurt and ice. All those people who thought I was kidding :-) (that's www.bikeblender.com )
Still haven't done margaritas yet. Need a recipe and the right place and time :-) Need to tweak the details on washing too... Mainly I need to make a "blender kit" so I can get things going efficiently and easily. Didn't want to carry a cooler and ice up that 15% grade, either, tho' since I went as a volunteer and my car was the "refreshment stop" vehicle I might have been able to coordinate cold ingredients...
