Essential bike touring item
"I love these nets. I've taken mine on many, many miles on long distance tours and it has become and absolute essential part of my kit. Great for shoving things onto your bike short term instead of unrolling your panniers. Perfect for ferry crossings, just shove all your shoes helmet etc. in the net and you're good to go. I strap it between the rear of my saddle, over my Ortlieb bag and the other end attaches to my bike rack. Also great for taking a few things with you after you pitch camp and dump all your panniers."
