The D&B seat bag was such a big hit that Dooney & Bourke came up with a new handlebar bag.

When my mom rises again and gets a bike I'll get her a Dooney and Burke bag. She'd love it!!

expensive stuff.

You can find a lot of knockoffs of that purse. I have found several at thrift stores, cheap.

Ya know. Maybe if I tied the strap to the back and dragged that for a few miles and then left it out in the rain and sun for awhile and then slopped some polish on it and then dragged it a while longer that would work for me.

Either that or someone with a better eye than mine figure out why it still looks like a purse and fix it. Maybe a different color for the accents and straps. I dunno.

I'm more interested in the mount. What is that, and where did you get it?

it looks like a an old cannondale handlebar bag mount from the '80s. I have one, and the bag somewhere. they were realnice and were easy to get on and off. the bag had "shock cords" (thin bungee) that hooked to the fork eyelets with little S hooks

Will have to look for one like that. Could be just the thing for the rando bike.

I also have a surplus cotton khaki messenger/medical shoulder bag that I refer to as my tactical briefcase.
