I'm looking at road bikes at the moment to see if I can improve on my first Argus time from last year which I did on my very entry level hard tail mtb. 

 

I've always leaned heavily towards function over form and I have to say I seriously intend putting a stylish saddle bag on my road bike when I eventually get it. 

 

I can't see any good reason why one shouldn't use one. Most anti-SB arguments revolve around the spoiling of the bike's lines but frankly, and I am aware that this might be heresy and have me excommunicated from the peleton of slow that I inhabit, I just don't get it. Surely having a saddle bag sends the message that you are a serious cyclist, aware that things go wrong on the road and that one has the wherewithal to fix them when they do?

Serious cyclist=worries about weight=don't care if something goes wrong=race over if it does.

When it's scientifically proven in tests such at wind tunnel etc with irrefutable evidence produced that a saddlebag has a negative impact on my strava times, i MIGHT be persuaded to remove mine.

It chafes my nipples when someone in the bunch has a saddle bag that has the 'soundtrack of cutlery' whenever we hit the smallest of irregularity in the road surface ????

This is where old socks come in handy for packing your tools and bombs in, panting and puffing is all you will hear in my case.

You have funny nipples and need to see a doctor.

If your nipples rattle like cutlery when you hit small bumps, then it's a party!!
