My heart now beats a little faster when considering what I now know to be
called, front mount bags and handlebar bags, thanks to all the positive
reviews. It's a much spendier proposition than I first realized, however.
The front mounts not only require a $120ish front rack but a $85ish
handlebar angle while riding. In all those examples I typically pull over.
Man, at the very least I HAVE to get a rando bag for our tandem, my wife
will love not having to dig things out for me too.
