Winter finally arrived in California. After waiting two years, we have officially seen the "typical" rainy season in Sacramento. During this season, I am super stoked to have Gore Tex; it makes riding in the rain so much fun.
With the change of weather, I have decided that I need a solid bag for my Jones H Bar that will keep my stuff a.) dry, b.) organized, c.) easily accessible (especially with regard to my camera). I almost spent every waking hour of this last weekend stitching together an old U.S. Mail canvas bag to retrofit it to attach to my Jones bars. I did this by hand and I quickly realized how valuable a good sewing machine can be. Even after twenty plus hours of stitching together my idea, the bag still is not up to par. However, I found a good handlebar bag hack is to use a Metolius rope bag with hook closures; these hooks easily wrap around the bars and can tighten with a quick pull of the one inch webbing attached to it.
Altogether, I should have seen this lesson in humility coming from a long way off.
