Woho makes a range of small bike bags which are most likely to be used for tool kits, but could also be great for carrying cellphones, iPods and cash. The lineup consists of handlebar and saddlebags, but here we’re looking at the Classic Roll, partly because it sounds so tasty, and partly because you can hang it just about anywhere.
The classic roll is made from a translucent vinyl-like material which keeps the water out (the zipper is also weatherproof) and because it is see-through, you can throw a light inside and have the whole sack glow. Fixing is done by two straps and buckles, but there is a version (which I can’t find on the site) that has a single Velcro strap across the top that can be threaded through the rails under the saddle.
The loop’n’buckle version is still rather versatile, sitting under the seat, hanging from the handlebar or just dangling from the top-tube. According to Jeff at Urban Velo, the bags are very well made and come with a webbing strap inside to help organize tools.
Right now I’m in winter mode, and so everything goes into a new mini Timbuk2 messenger bag, the tools stuffed inside a pencil case. This Woho Classic Roll is rather tempting, though, as it solves one big problem of using a saddle-bag: it blocks out the light from the hipster-cyst I have on the seat-post. $21.
