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

Saddle bag for aero type seatpost

Just wondering what people with a Cervelo or a seat post of that shape use for a saddle bag?
Thanks

This is what I have seen and done...
1. Saddlebag strapped on to an X-Lab attachment. Tri setup. I did this for a while. Complements the aero look.
2. Saddlebag attached to saddle rails. I then switched to this to simplify things. Will not look bad if you go with a smallish saddlebag. Make sure you have enough saddle rail behind the seatpost to go this route.

If you use a Fizik saddle they have their own little saddlebags that attaches to the saddle neatly.

My LBS did recommend an X-Lab bag but had nothing in stock. I'm not sure I understand what you did. Any particular model of X-lab that people use?
