Green Guru Cruiser Cooler Handlebar Bag

This is a nice bag. I am impressed with the quality feel - it looks and feels like it will last a long time. It is a large bag and holds a lot (I think the Green Guru website shows a photo of it with a six-pack of cans in it). I just got it Friday and used it on a club ride Saturday - a couple people on the ride commented on how cool this bag is. I searched for a handlebar bag for a while and I could have found different bags that might have cost less, but the two things that sold me on this bag is the fact that it's recycled bike tubes (what do you do with your old tubes?) and it's made in the USA - both worth the extra money to me. I am a road biker and I saw other handlebar bags that looked like suitcases hanging off the front of the bike; this bag is fairly low profile, for as much volume as it holds. Things I especially like: Made of re-purposed used bike tire tubes Made in the USA Sturdy feel, quality construction, nice stitching The closure is just a velcro flap over the top of the bag - no zippers - very easy to get into and close up again A hard plastic bar - removable - inside the top flap to keep the top of the bag rigid Easy to attach to the bike with three velcro loops Holds a lot - I only had my rain jacket and hard case for my glasses, but I probably could have also had extra water bottles, which I could have used yesterday... Other features that are not as important to me, but might come in handy on rides on hot days when I may want to carry cold food/drink: The bag is designed to double as a cooler Loop of webbing to be able to carry it like a cooler Shiny silver liner, again, to be used as a cooler, made from "Upcycled Reflective Mylar from Compostable Cup Packaging" (copied directly from the Green Guru website) All in all, this is a nice bag. In addition to being eco-friendly and US-economy-friendly, it is very sturdy, well made, and useful for many purposes.

Very well-made and looks nice. Maybe a little expensive for what it is, but it's hard to find handlebar bags that aren't either really little or way too big. A lot of the ones I saw at the bike shop also had closures that seemed too awkward for quick opening. I use the bag for quickly stowing sunglasses, and should also work for a light jacket. It's a bonus that it's insulated -- it's not big enough for all the cold stuff on a grocery run, but works well for tossing in a bottle of ice coffee or some such. I did have to move a bell and a light a little and maneuver through brake cables to attach it, so it isn't something I could take on and off quickly.

My only regret turning my bike into my main grocery getter was not being able to bring home TJ's frozen popsicles. They just didn't stay frozen, even packed between other frozen items. Well, not a problem any more! This little bag keeps my pops frozen, my water for rides really cold, and my burritos super hot. It also holds my wallet, phone, keys, etc., as a "glove box". I'm still working on a way to turn it into a speaker for my iPhone tunes; with the lid closed the iPhone is safe from bumps and falls but it muffles the sound. My other handlebar bag reflected the sound much better and louder, but it didn't maintain food temps. Can't have everything I guess. I could always get a phone bracket for the bike or a bluetooth speaker. Not giving up the Guru, it is terrific. Looks like it will hold up for eternity; even thought the material fades out in the sun, it stays tough and pliable. Very happy.

Man... I really like this handle bar bag! It has lots of storage, sturdy mounting loops, and looks great on my 'Flying Sue' cruiser. The design and construction of the bag is great. I get so many people complimenting how unique it is. I like the idea of using the recycled inner tubes. It really makes you think what can be done with so much of what we discard. Green Guru has done a great job on these bags!!! I would highly recommend this bag to anyone looking for a durable bag with generous storage. Oh yeah.... And the insulated aspect of the bag works really well on storing your favorite beverage and more for your ride.

Love this bag and use it all the time. It holds the drinks cold and is very durable. I bought two. Great little cooler bag!

Nicely made bag, sits out of the way on my drop bars. My only problem with it is, why black? The outside gets really hot while it is in the sun, and this surely affects its ability to keep things cold. I'm trying to figure out how to cover it with white material so that it stays cool longer.

LOVE THIS ITEM! No more messing with a backpack. Keeps my waters cold through a 2+ hour bike ride on the trail. It fits perfectly on my handlebar and I still have room for my IPhone attachment. Took me several purchases of things that did not work before I found this one that REALLY does work.

I've been using this bag on my road bike and love it so far. I've used it for touring and riding around town. It's easy to mount and detach, fits a wallet, keys, phone, and snacks or keeps a few beers cold for after your ride. Definitely happy with my purchase.
