Avenir Excursion QR Handlebar Bag (484 Cubic Inches) – Reviews

I wish everything were designed this well. It has a strap that fits under the goose neck to prevent the bag from rotating under load. It is big enough to hold a lunch and 2 fat bottles of gatorade in a rigid bag. My only complaint is that it’s not water proof. That matters, I live in Seattle!

This bag is mounted on my front handlebars. Prior to this I was using a backpack for my NYC trips. Not fun carrying a backpack in the summer, even if there is not much in it.

Hence the handlebar bag purchase. Having a handlebar bag may look a little nerdy but it beats the backpack. The mount is a nice feature. I can easily take the bag off the bike when I need to (coming over on the ferry, etc)

The mount is a good design. The bracket takes up a little more bar space than I hoped, but it is very secure.
The bag has a plastic insert that keeps the shape of the bag. You will hear things rattling around against the plastic.
The map pocket is held closed from inside the bag with one Velcro tab. If you put anything in the map window that is too small, it will slip past the Velcro flap and fall into the bag. Who uses paper maps? It would be more useful if it was sized for a cell phone, GPS, or cycle computer.
The side pockets have an elastic band at the top, but do not seem overly secure. I wouldn’t put anything too big or valuable in these pockets while riding.

It sounds like I’m not happy with it, but I am. Those are just things I wish were a little better.
The bike I use it on has 44cm wide road bars and there is no cable clearance issue with the STI shifters.
