Restarting a long-delayed project
After a considerable delay, I’ve restarted working on the born-again Trek’s weighted companion rando bag. This is going to be a much stripped down rando bag; I don’t use front pockets for very much or rear pockets for anything, so they’re not going onto the bag. It’s going to have a map pocket on top (a small one @ ~6.5×6.5 inches) as is traditional, but I’m going to use pockets (on the front corners) and stretch webbing (to loop around the tombstone) to hold the bag down instead of velcro strips or loops to thread toestraps through.
It’s not really going to be suited for anything longer than a fast 300k (there is almost no room for layers, so unless I took several ultralight windshells I’d end up freezing my butt off on overnight segments) but I can carry a saddlebag if I want to take the born-again Trek out for a 400+k loop (or sew a larger bag for those longer rides.)
Or just take the midlifecrisismobile for those loops (though I need to sew a rando bag for that machine as well!)

I take it you haven’t played the computer game Portal? Search for “weighted companion cube” and all will be revealed.
You’re quite right that I haven’t played Portal.
I am less baffled now; thanks!

“companion rando bag” = the rando bag that goes with this particular bike.
“weighted companion” is baffling me, though.
