I/Grant have been using a prototype of this bag for a year and love it. It holds a lot and doesn't need a rack. I can overfill it and the flap-and-elastic accommodate whatever it is. I've carried 4-foot long tubes under the flap, sticking out (no traffic). This one is better, way tidier, keeps its shape because of the inserts, and has two pockets inside. I bought the first one.
It’s hard to look at any bag or pack and not think, they should’ve added, take your pick: more pockets? more access? a shoulder strap?)Our variant is, what’s all this extra ______? The Rollo is not too simple, not too confusing. Load it up, overfill it, add a Kangaroo pouch if you want to; peer inside and see the two pockets for small things, and you’re all set. It has more than enough things.
It works on any handlebar and doesn’t need a rack. There are two ways to close it, but you need only one, and there’s an anti-sway strap that’s totally unnecessary, but always out of the way. A Rollo and a BananaSack make a good combo for a winter ride. A Rollo and a BagBoy will fit $70 worth of groceries.
You can refer to it as either the EZPZ or Rollo. We do both, for now.
It comes with three internal stiffener inserts. It may be obvious where they go. I/Grant inserted them. in 4:15. Will and Roman took about the same. They take a little finagling, and you do it just once.
Here are instructions on how to install the stiffeners.

Also read this: Like all but tiny handlebar bags, the bag and cables want to occupy the same space, and they always can. Sometimes the cables bend around or under the bag slightly unphotogenically, but they don't seem to impair function. I have used this bag for at least a year and totally love it, but I'm more Oscar than Felix. It's possible that some of you will want to replace the most problematic cable and housing with a longer one. Bully for you if you can do it yourself, and certainly any bike shop can do it for you. Probably just one of the four cables.
