Quoted By:
I have a small chink saddle bag, takes care of 90% of my needs, as I can use it to carry something to eat down the line if I really need to.
If I'm going far, I'll probably use a jersey and I can put stuff in the back pockets.
If I'm going really far, I'll probably have a gas station on the way where I can get something to eat and drink. If this is not the case, I'll carry a small backpack.
For me, the intersection where you absolutely need a frame/handlebar bag is non-existent. If you do, you either do it for style or actual bikepacking.
>but anon what if i need to carry stuff or need to buy groceries or...
backpack. Will carry way more for way less hassle, and you don't need to worry about your fancy bags on your bike.
Also, nice ass OP.
