Leah, I'm a bit embarrassed to send this reply. My embarrassment derives from the fact that the bag I'm going to tell you about I first saw in a Facebook ad. I can't even recommend it as I have not tried it . . . yet. I did bite and one is on the way to me from, I would guess, China, but who knows. I jumped on this bag for a few reasons. Mostly, they have to do with what it can do. It's easy to open while cycling as the opening faces the rider. Second, it has loads of attachment points for phones, Go Pros, bells, lights, etc. Third, it seems to fit very comfortably between drop handlebars and shouldn't be an issue for upright bars like I use. Finally, the price is very right -- $40. Here's the link:
https://budsweet.net/collections/BICYCLE-ACCESSORIES/products/smart-multifunctional-handlebar. And here's a photo: I don't think it comes in other colors so it may not work with your raspberry sparkler. Still, I think it's work looking at the website at least to see how clever the designers were in developing this bag. For me, this just looked too good to pass up and pass along.
