Why use a rain cover?

The main compartment and map cases of our bicycle handlebar bags are completely waterproof but the front zippered pocket and side mesh pockets are not. If you need to keep the items stored in these pockets dry, then the handlebar bag rain cover is a must. The rain cover has a clear plastic window at the top so you will still be able to clearly read your map. The rain covers also protect the bag against road grime which helps to keep the handlebar bag clean.

Handlebar camera bags are also a great way to carry camera equipment

Handlebar camera bags are also a great way to carry camera equipment. A DSLR will easily fit inside the main compartment. Although these bags are not specifically designed with padded compartments for cameras and lens it is very easy to add foam protection inside and customize the interior to safely store and protect your camera. You can use a blue foam closed cell commonly used in sleeping pad to do this. For more details on this you can read this article: How to transform bicycle handlebar bags into a deluxe camera bag.

Bicycle saddle bags are the standard

Bicycle saddle bags are the standard for cyclists looking to carry the bare minimum: tools, spare tubes, tire inflation kits, keys, and the like. Saddle bags offer convenient access, easy mounting, and an out-of-the-way position underneath your saddle. They are an economical choice, both financially and physically, as their small size and self-mounting capabilities make them light-weight and affordable. Here at Bike Bag Shop, bike saddle bags are not to be confused with bicycle pannier bags, which mount to a bike rack. Saddle bags, in this context, refer to small bags that are mounted on the rails of your bicycle's saddle.

Bicycle handlebar bags can be broken down into two levels of water protection: waterproof and water-resistant.

The material is another feature that should be taken into consideration when picking out a bag. Bicycle handlebar bags can be broken down into two levels of water protection: waterproof and water-resistant. Waterproof handlebar bags are made from materials such as dry bag style PVC or treated, heavy-duty Cordura. Features like seams, pockets, and zippers all diminish the bag's ability to seal out water, therefore most waterproof handlebar bags offer fewer organizational features than their water-resistant counterparts. For the best of both worlds, there are water resistant handlebar bags which offer tight fitting rain covers, an easy solution for protection during an unexpected rain shower.

One of the most common problems with bike top tube bag is compatibility

One of the most common problems with bike top tube bag is compatibility. Many companies make their top tube bags to fit around their custom bicycle frame bag. While this is nice and convenient, it is also nice to have a variety of bags by mixing and matching from other companies. Roswheel has thought about this which makes them winners in our book. The bag comes with 5 nylon loops for cinching down to the top tube in various locations, with one velcro or two if needed for more stability (provided). It also comes with two loops against the stem for a proper fit with another provided velcro strap around your fork spacers.

Accessories such as bag rain covers, map cases and shoulder straps are either included or available separately for most handlebar bags. Lone Peak offers the bare bones bicycle handlebar tool bag, so you have the opportunity to accessorize with a rain cover or shoulder strap if it's necessary. Other bags I include all of the bells and whistles for an all-in-one package. Ortlieb falls somewhere in between the two. As one of the most rugged handlebar bags around, the completely waterproof  Ultimate 5 includes a carrying strap, while still having the option of adding either a map case or GPS Case depending on which set up you prefer.
