Saddle packs
A saddle bag is a great way of carrying tools, spares and your things on a bike. The beauty of a saddle bag is that it sits under your saddle (obviously) and stays out of the way while not impeding too much on the aerodynamics of the bike.
Saddle bags are great for on and off road use, as well as for a spot of recreational use. Some will come pre-loaded with essential tools and some will expand to suit the amount of accessories you choose to take with you on a ride. They are a great way storing your energy bars or gels as well and mean you don’t need anything uncomfortable rubbing inside your pockets.
