First Claim
1. An article carrier adapted to be supported on the handlebars of a cycle and stabilized by the front axle of the cycle, comprising:
- an enclosed bag having an access opening;
closure means associated with the opening;
a pair of elongated flexible straps each having one end affixed to the bag at one of a pair of spaced points and adapted to be secured to the opposed handlebars so that the line on the bag between the points of attachment of the straps is suspended substantially horizontally;
a pair of elongated flexible members each having one end fixed to the bag at one of a pair of connecting means on the bottom surface of the bag, the connecting means being spaced from one another and from the points of attachment of the straps to the bag; and
connector means attached to the free end of each flexible member to secure the elastic member adjacent to the front axle area of the cycle so as to suspend the bag between and below the handlebars.

Abstract
A handlebar bag for a cycle is cylindrical in shape and has a pair of elongated straps affixed to points at the two ends of the top of the bag. The strips have hook and loop fasteners at the free ends and are adapted to be wrapped around the handlebars of the cycle and reattached to a strip of dissimilar hook and loop fastener affixed to the surface of the bag between the points of attachment of the two straps. A pair of elastic shock cords have their free ends attached to spaced points at the bottom of the bag and carry hooks at their free ends which are adapted to attach to the front axle area to stabilize the bag when the top straps are wrapped around the handlebars. By joining the two free ends of the straps together with an intermediate connecting strap having hook and loop fasteners on its ends the bag may be employed as a shoulder bag.
