Thanks to Bill Lane at Wall Bike for reprinting this pictographic feature on front handlebar bags from the Japanese magazine Cyclo Tourist. Apart from Guu-Watanabe, Ostrich and Berthoud, many of the brands are new to me.
For reference, here is my post from 2008 showing the of the range of French, US and Japanese made handlebar bags in use by my randonneuring friends.
Thanks so much for posting this. I very nearly ordered a copy of this until I saw the shipping was going to be $30 for a $15 magazine.
Inspiring work.
