Review on Topeak Sidekick Wedge Black Medium by Robert Howell

Small. That's why the word "small" is in the title. But I manage to fit the following in mine: - Spare tube - CO2 - Multitool - Repair kit - Easy cable lock (it's really light, but it's a real lock) Wallet and cell phone? nope Definitely not enough space. You need to put them in your jersey pocket or take another bag with you. I like: - It opens on the side. This works very well. I've had a lot of backpacks that open at the back, but the side opening works much better for me. The zippered tongue hides in a small secluded place. It shouldn't matter much, but I just love it. i am very clean It uses a "lock" on the seat rails but does not attach the seat post. This makes getting the bike on and off very easy as there is no need to fiddle with velcro straps. You can buy an extra lock to switch between bikes - It doesn't wobble. Most saddlebags have some impact due to the way they are attached. This one is a lot harder. I like that. - Yellow Salon. It brightens things up inside and makes it easier to find the right things. The main disadvantage is that it is not waterproof. They claim it's "water repellent" and does well in light rain, but I sometimes ride in very heavy rain and always have to open it up to let it dry afterwards. I can live with that because I really like the other features. All in all this is a great bag. Highly recommended.
