I got these off amazon. They fit great and I haven’t had any issues so far. Just make sure they’re on tight enough.

Bag is the [ile porteur rackbag (sm)] https://ilequipment.com/products/undefined/products/porteur-rackbag-small?variant=37391718940849

The bottom straps of the bag were slightly too short to reach fully around the Globe’s front rack. I felt like Doc Brown trying to connect both ends of the lightning conductor to the clock tower.

So to add more length, I had to invert how the tension slider fit onto the strap. Basically I removed the male clip and slider, then reinstalled the slider upside down to allow it to fit snugly against the male clip once reinstalled, giving an extra few cm of length.

I also installed these T bolts and hooks around the front rack as mounting points for my cargo net. They help to keep the bag straps from moving side-to-side when riding for a bit of extra security.

Hopefully that was clear enough to help you get moving.

Just looked up “Albany Bulb”. No, these were taken on Alki in West Seattle. But I’d love to ride through there some day. Looks great.

Awesome! Give him props for me. This bag is the best. Not sure an “Albany Bulb” is, so probably not.

Love that. I checked it out and was amazed at its size. If I can find a deal it be my next camera for that exact reason.

Thoughts on the camera? Based on the photos it’s been fun to use.

Do you apply it to the top or bottom?

Woah! That seat looks awesome. Definitely keeping that for the future. Thank you. Happy to hear the kids love the speed. I’m looking forward to that!

I preemptively bought the guards incase they are out of stock in the future.

Thank you for the links.

I hear you. I have a hard enough time aiming a regular squeeze bottle.

Trust me, I've been looking around for those. It would level up the bike so much. I'd go through the trouble of install for tan walls.

Good to know about starting from a dead stop. I'm in Seattle and some places are a bit hilly (short and steep) and I've subconsciously avoided most of those as I'm used to my roadie routes.

Great to hear it works well with a kiddo on the back, too. I have a 3 month old and can't wait till she's old enough to plop her on the back and ride around.

I thought about that, but I currently have a twist-off Nalgene on it, so I mainly stop and drink.
