I am always looking for a better bag for my bike, and I have been looking for a proper handlebar bag for several years now. Now I believe I have found what I have been chasing after in the Route Works Handlebar Bag.

Just got one of these. VERY SMALL
PROS: it is extremely well thought out, very well made, great mount to the bike and great mount for your electronics.
CONS: it is extremely small, just barely big enough for: a phone, wallet, sun screen, lip balm, Swiss army knife, 2 small head lights, reading glasses, spare lens for my sun glasses, 1 power bar, 1 apple, and mini first aid. (few large band aids)
All those items I just listed are very small, but you need to pack carefully to get those 12 items in. To give you a better idea - the exterior side pockets are sized for maybe a zippo lighter, or a set of car keys, neither of which do I carry. A food bar will not fit, you could put in the wrapper from a food bar, after you eat it ...
THEY REALLY NEED TO MAKE A LARGER VERSION OF THIS. DOUBLE THE VOLUME.
The odd thing is that the bag tapers as it goes down, the bottom width of the bag is ~3" while the top is ~4-5". It is just really small.
I guess really this is a commuter bag, its not for tripping - which is what I was looking for.
anyone know of you could mount the bar hardware upside down for a bit more tire clearance for XS bikes and ultra low stack heights? In some pics the "blade" looks the same top and bottom in others it looks more rounded on the top. thank you
Thank you for the review. What is the lower cord for (the one around the bottom of the bag)? I understand that it keeps the outside pockets closed, but it seems that just for that they coulve used something more simple. Stuffing a shirt? Does it have any other purpose??
Are you sure that is 1/4” shock cord and not smaller? I love your idea and want to change my cords to red!
Can I mount the light Adapter on both Sides? Left and right?
7:38 on both sides !
8:49 as well 😉
How does it hold up in miles of rain? Everything stay dry?
I have ridden in several rain events and have never had any water in the bag. That said, I have ridden in a downpour with it yet.
Hello. Can I choose the color of this strap when ordering?
NO

A lot. I bought a felt sticker to the rim right next to the clip that latches it closed and removed the rattling noise
