Abstract

A handlebar bag for a cycle is cylindrical in shape and has a pair of elongated straps affixed to points at the two ends of the top of the bag. The strips have hook and loop fasteners at the free ends and are adapted to be wrapped around the handlebars of the cycle and reattached to a strip of dissimilar hook and loop fastener affixed to the surface of the bag between the points of attachment of the two straps. A pair of elastic shock cords have their free ends attached to spaced points at the bottom of the bag and carry hooks at their free ends which are adapted to attach to the front axle area to stabilize the bag when the top straps are wrapped around the handlebars. By joining the two free ends of the straps together with an intermediate connecting strap having hook and loop fasteners on its ends the bag may be employed as a shoulder bag.
