Retroreflective strips (grey) shown attached to bag.
Cinch and zipper compartments open. Flap open and placed for maximum visibility of internal organization.
Detail view of zippered compartment. Two slot pockets provide ample storage capacity for smart phones, notebooks, and other small items. D-ring provides option to "dummy cord," or attach lanyards to the bag to prevent loss of items. Large #10 zipper with paracord zipper pulls limit blow out probabilities and offer low-dexterity friendly operation.
Detail view of cinch compartment. Oversized storm collar allows expandability for odd-shaped objects, while also limiting "bounce-out" when biking over rugged terrain. D-ring provides lanyarding and attachment options for items.
Rear view of bag. Velcro attachment system for bike mounting is visible. Easy adjustment through different webbing channels (vertical) is possible for adapting to different bike configurations.
Bike bag overall view. Retroreflective strips shown removed. Low profile design allows for easy storage within a compartment of the bag. Retroreflective strips provide directional light visibility for the night cyclist. Due to the characteristics of the material, it reflects light primarily back towards the light source: this is a valuable addition to active light sources (light head lights), as it relies on the source of a different light, rather on that of the cyclist's light.

Handlebar Bike Bag

This project was developed in tandem with the customer who wanted something expandable for day to day use, as well as visible for late night bike rides.

These two goals were achieved with the zippered organizer compartment and the expandable drawstring/flap closure compartment. Attachment to the bike is facilitated by hook and loop straps: two for the handlebar and one for the stem of the bike.
