[RBW] Bar bag for the Riv Bullmoose bar?

I agree on the bar tube. It fits nicely on my bullmoose, but I always carry too much to fit in it...as such, I have a newish dark brown one if you're interested -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group

You can't go wrong with Riv's Bar Tube. I don't know if it qualifies as mid-size, but I've jammed a ridiculous amount of stuff in both of mine. It's also nice with the hook-and-loop straps 'cause it's easy to take with you for a quick store run. -- You received this message because you are

Good advice, Ian and that's what I usually try to doi.e. avoid heavy traffic. One thing I will NOT do is give up riding. To be fair my run-in happened at a time I usually don't leave work. I leave for work around 9 am and start home around 6pm to avoid rush hour. On the day of my collision
