I need somewhere to put my map while cycling. I have a cheap plastic map cover thing from Decathlon that can be Velcroed to the handlbars but when I tested this out last week it flapped around everywhere and was very annoying. So, I put my thinking cap on and decided to cannibalise the Altura bar bag that I bought last year before cycling along the Pennine Cycleway. I would have found it difficult to use it as it was with the new butterfly handlebars so I dismantled it and ripped off the material cover. Revealed in effect (once twisted 90 degrees) is a platform that can support a map. Not quite finished as it has a few sharp edges and that bit that sticks up at the end is probably lethal! I shall speak to my colleague in the Technology department at school tomorrow and see if he has a saw of some description to help me remove it. A job worthy of the best efforts of the A Team I think!

The idea of the laptop is an interesting one…..
Perish the thought, but the photo might be funny!
Pity the fool, murdoch! Looks like heath robinson would be proud of you! A couple of strips of double sided sticky velcro should sort out map mounting and make it a lot more useful than most map mounts on the market, hell you could even stick a lap top to it 🙂
