Hi
Can anyone recommend a good bag to take as hand luggage on a cycling holiday? In other words, a bag big enough for cycling shoes, helmet, etc, but small enough to meet cabin bag requirements?
I've found it awkward in the past to use a normal rucksack because the compartments aren't sized in the right way. I've come across the KitBrix CityBrix bag, which fits the bill, but is expensive at £120.
Thanks in advance

Does it need to fit in a pannier or similar after the flight?
NB Airline size restrictions aren't standardised.
As a general purpose cabin bag I use an Eagle Creek Pilot EXP. Hard back with wheels but soft expandable front. Excellent.

No, it doesn't need to fit in a pannier. To be more specific on dimensions, my airline's restrictions are 45 x 36 x 20 cm.

So this is just to take your gear to a start and maybe back?? No cycling involved.
At the bottom of the scale a Chinese laundry bags would do, but a small barrel bag is more substantial or a holdall.
I have a whole collection of small bags, bought at the end of tours in Asia. Usually cost about 3 quid for a cheapo holdall. Probably a bit more here, but plenty of bargains to be had in markets or 'sell everything' shops.
Edit: I normally go for a bag with a shoulder strap as much easier to carry.
