• I've got my sleeping kit in a roll on the handlebar, and a jacket/hat/tools/battery/cables/shorts/shoes in a saddlebag. But what do people do about phone/wallet/food? I'm likely to be wearing baggie shorts and tee shirt on this weekend's trip so won't have jersey pockets.

    Also, does packing a saddlebag get easier? Seems to be a right old faff.

    Also, also, how do people fit a sleeping bag in when kipping in colder weather? I've got a silk liner, bivvy bag and very thin and uncomfortable sleeping mat packed in my handlebar bag - nothing else would fit in. I doubt I could even get my sleeping bag in there on its own.

  • My wallet is almost always on me, phone is either on me or on the bars.
    Sometimes both may go into the thin side pocket on the framebag.
