Bigger handlebar bag? Why? I know the description talked about big,

medium sized bag would work just fine too. I have a medium sized
handlebar bag on my loaded touring bike. Cannondale, back (1980s)
from when Cannondale was a big name in loaded touring with bikes and
bags. It is the perfect size and WEIGHT for holding small stuff I
need during the day. Money, maps, snacks. I always keep it
lightweight. When you start adding lots of weight to the handlebars,
it does affect the steering. That is bad. Is Jan Heine trying to
get all his customers to crash their bikes with big heavy handlebar
bags? I would say YES. Why does Jan want to injure his customers?

Why? Well, what if you had THREE chihuahuas?

OK. Did that Paris Hilton girl have chihuahuas? I seem to recall
seeing pictures of her with little dogs. But I could be imagining that.
And of course on this forum I have read about the drunkards on this
forum talking about buying and carrying beer on their rides. Maybe the
bigger handlebar bag would allow them to carry a 24 pack of beer. Or a
whole case of Jack Daniels. So I guess there is a true need for a
bigger handlebar bag. But my point about the extra weight still
applies. I think the bike handling would be affected severely if you
were carrying a full case of beer.

Sigh, every Australian bicycle rider can tell you that you strap 'ya
slab(box of 24 beers)' onto you port rack and she'lll be right.

More common than you think because drink-driving of a motor ehicle will
cost you your MV drivers licence and you only means of transportleft to
you is a bicycle.

The real reason they outlawed ICE assisted bicycles was to save plod and
road workers coming across the remains of smashed slab when 'the
okkie(rubber tie down)' failed.
