Very good Bike Bag

On: 2010-06-25

I really like this bag a lot. I bought it for my beach cruiser and I use it on the top frame bar that runs from my crotch to the neck of the bike. The bag fits good in that area.
The one complaint I have is the length of the straps are not long enough for the cruiser frame thickness. I do make it work, but its a very tight fit. I am planning on extending the strap size by stitching on a few extra inches of strap on each buckle to give it a better fit. This bag does fit excellent on the handlebars or bottom of seat. I dont have it on my handle bars because I have a "Nirve" bicycle stereo there.

Unobtrusive but hard to open

On: 2010-06-06

This is a nice little bag that sits unobtrusively on the bike, but the opening is a little tight and hard to open, especially if you need fast access. I use it to store items I dont necessarily need throughout the day/ride.

handlebar bag

I was looking for something that was cheap but would get the job done as far a as a bag for my wifes bike. After reading product reviews I almost passed on this product because everybody commented about the plastic insert. My wife and I are biking enthusiasts who bike at least twice a week with our mountain bikes on the trails. The plastic insert HAS NOT been a problem. Dont get scared off from buying this bag. For the price you cannot beat it. pouch holds enough and is advertised correctly in description. If you are planning on using the bag for groceries or loading it up with a lot of weight I would pass on this bag and find something bigger and stronger. Otherwise a great buy and I am very satisfied!

Nice price, lousy liner.

On: 2010-03-17

The price is right, It can carry a lot of items during the bike ride. My only complaint is the included liner. Why the inner liner was not glued and attached to the inside of the bag by the manufacture makes no sense at all to me. I will find away to attach this then the bag will be perfect. Because of the price I would recommend this item to anybody.

Simple and does the job

Was looking for basic handlebar bag to throw in a few things for mountain biking.
This works fine and I find no faults with the product.
It is not large and maxes out with a pair of riding gloves and long sleeve sport shirt.

Better than similar Jandd

On: 2009-10-07

My Jandd bag fell of my bike and I needed a replacement. This was cheaper, so I gave it a shot. The clasps are much better. Good quality for the price. I use it on my handlebars during long rides. Small--but big enough for lunch, sunblock, cash and a small camera.

Avenir Metro bag

I mounted this little bag on my handlebars for quick access to my phone, Ipod and snacks while on rides between five to ten miles. The plastic liner took a little creativity to hold the bags shape while still leaving an access space to the goodies inside. This was worth the effort because the bag has a greater capacity and easier access to particular items in side.

OK for the money

This is a simple bag that can be mounted on a handlebar or seat. The one flaw is the inside plastic liner. It is supposed to keep the bag firm so that it can be opened easily, but the liner is too flexible and distorts with time. After 3 weeks it has gotten to the point where the liner is useless.

Just the right size

Perfect item for my needs. I mounted it on my handle bars of my tricycle and didnt need to put in the liner and still works great for me.

Good value

This bag is just as you would expect. The only thing I dont like is the plastic liner, that doesnt always line up with the zipper. It is a good value, holds plenty of things and secures easily to the bike. I would buy this product again.
