Useful Stuff
This Jandd half frame bag in digi-camo was a no brainer for me. It was cheap, it looked good on every bike, it was solidly built and easy to mount. The bag is easy enough to open while I’m riding, and my stuff doesn’t fall out. It fits a U-lock pretty easily, and you can squeeze a Camelbak or waterbottle in there if you need some extra H2O.
I realized last week that I have now had this beautiful Brooks Cambium C-17 All Weather saddle in “Mud” (that’s the colour) on my bike for pretty much exactly a year.
Before I got this Outershell Drawcord Handlebar Bag, I would have my camera stuffed in a camera bag stuffed in a backpack. Anything remotely cool to take a picture of, I’d have to stop, swing my bag around, pull out my other bag, then pull out my camera, hope the thing was still there and take the photo.
I have reluctantly been wanting a GPS unit for cycling for a while now. After dealing with battery issues with my phone on long rides, it was starting to make more and more sense that I find a dedicated piece of gear that I can use for longer rides.
A bike is an extension of the self, and every decision reflects who you are as a rider.
