I know we have some keen cyclelists on here & so i have a question.
I've started to cycle to work & i'm fed up with having a rucksack on my back & was wondering what options there are for carrying my dinner etc in something that could be attached to the bike. A bloke at work has someting on the back of his bike, but makes it look like it belongs to an old lady. I'd rather not look too girlie  

Any suggestions as to what to look for on ebay will be appreciated?

You can get bags that go behind the saddle, and also a bag that goes in the 90deg angle between the crossbar and the downtube..

Thanx James
Do they have a special name, so i can type in to ebay search?

I have always used one like this, it's just the right size for sarnies.

Are those STI levers on that bike? Campag or Shimano?

[Growler]

They are Shimano STi's i took them off when i went to France a few years ago (yes the pic is that old) as i couldn't fit a bar bag between them.

Sorted. Just purchased a handle bar bag from ebay, with a pointer in the right direction from James

I looked at them, but i just couldn't bring my self to having one. I appear to be the wrong gender due to having "blokey bits"

I used to have a holdall for school which had a zip-off end pocket that happened to be a perfect size to strap between the downtube and cross bar, held in securely by my bottle holder
