Why are snobs against seatbags, frame bags, and/or handlebar bags?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Ok.

I suspect as long as this thread hangs around you geniuses won't come up with anything new and fresh to play with.

This baby has been out of gas for days now, but the benevolent and light-hearted mod team has left it to twist in the wind, hoping it would die of natural causes.

But it hasn't . . . . . so it must be shot . . . . . so as to die, at least, a semi-honorable death.

There is no way that a tire fits into that bag.

It's good to have low standards.

Did you see another cyclist was killed? Dorchester cyclist was run over by a drunk. Punishment, 18 months. Seems he's being punished for driving drunk, not killing someone.

I easily accommodated a very fine free range chicken from the Farmer's Market in this seat bag last week along with some fresh Chervil and Sage.
Nothing like a nice roast chicken supper.
