@rasterweb they’re fine though I prefer under-saddle. Either way stuff a rag in last thing so the contents can’t rattle.

@rasterweb what do you want to carry?

@fistfulofdave Toy camera… maybe house keys.

@rasterweb So the camera is the rub. You need to figure out how much space you need. Keys, Phone, Sunglasses, Wallet can fit in a compact bag maybe 2-3Liter bag. That camera may put you to 4-5L. Your other options are a handlebar bag, a bag that sits on the top tube and a seat bag. I head down to REI or a bike store with everything you want to carry. I’ve gotten bit by the odd shaped bag or the too small bag.

@fistfulofdave Oh, gloves, maybe sunglasses. And I gotta say, I'm surprised how many people say they carry a handgun when they bike.

@rasterweb A gun!? I have thought about what I need to do in some situations, a gun has never entered my mind.

@fistfulofdave Gun people think every situation is a potential gun situation.

I sort of need a comedy where two people are riding bikes but also having a gunfight and shooting at each others.

Modern day cowboy western thing but on bikes instead of horses?
