Hi all,
I am a relative newbie to the Southern California riding scene (moved from much cooler, wetter Germany)! I've always hated saddle bags as I think they have no place on a proper road bike. In Germany I used to carry my spare tube and tools in a tool keg, but I find myself running short on water here in the California sunshine with just one bottle (or in this case in NY for a few weeks on temp assignment - it's humid here!). So I'm looking for alternatives to the saddle bag and tool keg. I found the products listed below. Does anyone have any experience with them?
SmrT Hydration Cargo
SmrtHydration
The above seems like a good solution, but I don't think it's available yet.

This gets the job done, but a little unsightly (one of my chief qualms with the saddle bag).
