Big brands are typically a good place to put your money, and these companies pay lots of money to professional cyclists to advertise their goods. Using a longer strap, the setup is quite stable, with the mounting system allowing easy attachment to the bars, adjustment and removal. The attachment and stability can't match a good harness system, such as the Alpkit Kanga or Wildcat Lion (on test currently), but it is at least on par compared to other similar bags. It's also a big plus that Altura has made the straps fully removable, so when they wear out, you can fit new ones. The Altura Vortex 2 Waterproof Front Roll gives you 5 litres of cargo capacity in a super durable and super waterproof handlebar bag.

You might be a cycling newbie or a relative De-France competitor, but anyone can fall victim to the common buying mistakes when it comes to cycling gear. Unfortunately, while the internet makes shopping easier than ever before, it has also increased the difficulty for newcomers to discern the good from the bad. Fully waterproof with welded seam construction and adjustable roll top closure, your belongings will stay dry and protected from the elements while the reflective details and light attachment point will help you to stay visible when the light is low.Several attachment points allow the bag to fit different styles of bikes with two options for the handlebar and two frame/fork points underneath. The strap provided for the frame/fork was too short and could not reach behind either the fork crown or behind the head tube on my bikes, so my only option with the strap was to attach around some cables, which is not ideal.

As part of the WEEE regulations, all electrical and electronic goods produced after August 2005 that fall under WEEE regulations should be clearly marked with a crossed-out bin symbol which means they should not be included with household waste so that they can be recycledThe best part about cycling is that you need very little to get going. There are a number of must-have pieces of equipment such as a helmet, high visibility clothing and lights, but apart from this small group, you don’t need anything extra. Whatever you might be buying for your cycling trips, it’s important to do your research. Afterall, cycling can be dangerous if improperly or inadequately equipped, so it’s vital that your gear is safe and high quality.

Altura provides small foam pads to separate the bag from the bar slightly, although if used on a drop handlebar bike, there is still not enough room for your fingers behind it. You could add more of your own if this is an issue for you.

Cycling to work is a very rewarding and physically stimulating way of getting to work. Beating the soul crush of driving and the busy crunch of public transport, cycling is great for the mind and the body.
