I regularly use my bike for commuting, so have my light fitted on the handlebars, along with a bell (for the bits along cycle track) and my bike computer. Looking at my handlebars it looks a little cluttered, are there any solutions for tidying up my handlebars (other than taking the above and only fitting when required).

I was thinking:
A bike computer with an integrated bell/light, or a mount that holds them all.

Just a thought thats all

    That space bar jobby looks better engineered than the old version I have.
    Just fitted it under the bar to keep things nice and clutter free.

  • That looks good actually, and reduces that clutter from the bars. Thanks

    I use a gripshift (running 1x9) on my commuter to declutter the bars, doesn't help with your other 'junk' I know! (lights, not until needed, commuter, no use my phone, Bell, I have a voice!)

    Looks like extra weight for no practical purpose to me!

    Stick computer on stem, light on one side of the bar, bell on other. Plenty of space/tidiness. If you want more lights on, just mount some under the bar which leaves more space on top.
    Faster than a tent.......
  • Computer in your laptop bag, light on top of your helmet, bell around your neck. Sorted.
