Handlebar bag

I am a big fan of handlebars, although they do add a certain amount of weight to your front wheels, which may affect handling performance, but due to their limited capacity, you may not be able to carry heavy enough to truly ruin the ride. It’s worth mentioning that they are easy to use and can hold more than a saddle-shaped backpack-perfect for photographers who are keen on photography-and they usually come with a transparent top pocket, which is perfect Used for maps, or today’s mobile phones. In addition, if you choose a bike with a shoulder strap, you can easily remove it from the bike.

Top tube bag and frame bag

I put medium bags and frame bags (usually called "bicycle bags") in the medium load section because they can provide sufficient load-bearing capacity if used together. However, on their own, they seem to be much more useful than special spherical cushions or trolley bags. The reason is that their size and shape are limited by their location, so don't expect to carry any large individual items-for example, you may not have a laptop. But if all you need to do is transfer a bunch of spare pants and sandwiches, then fill them with boots, boots and bags.

Advantages: the weight of the cargo is on the bike, not on you; it allows you to pay attention to the equipment bag anytime, anywhere

Cons: Interesting shapes may limit carrying potential
