Using this Topeak handlebar bag is easy. First, decide if you want to use it alone or attach it to the FrontLoader system. If you choose to attach it, use the quick - release buckles and hook - and - loop fasteners to secure it to the handlebar. When packing, you can put your items in the detachable inner bag for better organization. When you're off the bike, simply attach the included shoulder strap to carry it around. For maintenance, after each use, especially if it gets wet, let it dry thoroughly. Avoid using harsh chemicals to clean it, just a mild soap and water will do. Make sure to check the zippers and fasteners regularly for any signs of wear and tear.
