Laptop bag for a bike

[Martynt74]

I'm wanting to start commuting on my bike, it's only ~8 miles each way and only 1 day a week. However i'm trying to avoid a rucksack as i always find i end up with a very sweaty back when wearing one during exercise.

I've seen a couple of handlebar mounted bags which would be suitable (It's only a 14" laptop). I've found a couple of American sites which have some bags like this though which look ideal

Anyone seen anything similar for here in the UK? Anytime i search for frame bag i get small triangular ones.

The problem with putting any baggage on the bars/front wheel, is it really throws your steering gemomentry off and ruins the handling of the bike, to the point it can be quite dangerous.

If you don't want a rucksack, then really you need to look at a rear rack and/or panniers.

Cheers.

The mid frame style I linked to seem ideal but struggling to find any that aren’t extortionate.

I did use a rucksack yesterday for a first commute. It wasn’t actually too bad and with a change of top was fine.

No way you can fit a bike into a laptop bag!
