>>1628924Very based, given a few conditions:
>Riding as transport OR riding as exercise>All items have a purpose. Aesthetics qualifies.>All items secured to avoid rattling or excess movement>All items can be removed easily>Material matches bike aesthetics, anodized on a metal bike, carbon on crabon.>ONLY non-chink ones allowed (as everything goes).The purpose of this is to regain handlebar space for hand positions.
You do not really need it unless you have at least 3 non-ride-controlled handlebar items. Meaning on most street-legal bikes you only need to add 1 item beyond the standard reflector and headlamp to consider it, assuming they aren't mounted on the fork somewhere.
>>1629042>computer and smartphone at once are redundantNot necessarily. Computer or head unit displays your cadence/speed/heart rate/power/maybe GPS/etc, phone controls music, GPS if using a cheaper computer, weather info, can control action cams, and lets you see notifications, calls and so on. Some computers can attach to the top cap but not everyone can or wants to use those + there's other items that can take that slot.
>>1629100Handlebar bag is a hipster meme like rando racks. Bad for handling, bad for braking, bad for your tire pressure.
