I use a saddlebag on the bars, with the seat post strap around the canti hanger

Patrick, I have the small acorn handlebar bag on albatross bars. I like it.
It holds my cellphone, wallet, keys, cable lock, and Fold-up hex wrench set.
In addition, I can also fit one of the follwing: a bandanna or granola bar or
