Handlebar bags have been around for ages, but they’ve recently seen a resurgence in popularity with more models on the market than you can shake a stick at. There are several reasons that people choose to use one including convenience. The handlebar-mounted position keeps your ride essentials like a phone, camera, snacks, gloves, etc., within arm’s reach in a place that can be easily accessed when stopped or even while riding. They offer additional storage capacity that can be used to hold items that you might normally carry in a jersey pocket which can enhance your comfort by freeing up your lower back and reducing the need to awkwardly reach back to your jersey pockets to access them. They also come in a range of shapes, sizes, and colors, so you can get one that meets your specific needs for storage and suits your personal aesthetic.
