Blue Lug Bike Pocket

The things you actually need on a ride — keys, wallet, phone — shouldn't have to live at the bottom of a bag. The Bike Pocket from Blue Lug Tandem is a small zip pouch that attaches to your stem via velcro straps, keeping your essentials within arm's reach without digging around at a red light. The velcro positioning is adjustable, so it can mount to more than just the stem — handlebars, top tube, wherever it makes sense for how you ride. Zipper closure keeps everything secure. Nothing rattling loose on a rough patch. It's also compatible with a separately sold shoulder strap if you want to carry it off the bike as a pouch. Simple idea, well executed — the kind of thing you'll wonder how you rode without.

Pair it with the Blue Lug Shoulder Strap—easy to swap between bags, and the kind of small addition that makes the rest of your kit quietly more useful.
