Abstract
A wedge-shaped storage bag designed and dimensioned for receipt in a triangular-shaped space between a bicycle frame's front fork tube and an angled down tube and on top of a car top carrier, when the car top carrier is carrying one or more bicycles thereon. The storage bag includes a horizontal bottom, a front portion having a height greater than a rear portion and a top portion. The top portion is angled upwardly from a top of the rear portion to a top of the front portion. The top portion and front portion have a wedge-shaped or an inverted “V” shaped configuration. Also, the storage bag includes a first side and a second side with access openings therein for entrance inside the bag and storing items therein. Further, the storage bag includes a down tube attachment strap mounted on the top portion, an upper, fork tube attachment strap and a lower, first car top carrier attachment strap mounted on the front portion, and a lower, second car top carrier attachment strap mounted on the rear portion of the storage bag. The attachment straps are used for releasable attachment of the storage bag to the bicycle frame and the car top carrier.
