Summary: be aware you might receive something different!
Comment: I ordered two of these bags two days ago. I received a bell stowaway bike bag, but the two I received are a different model than this. I received very small bags which zip quite differently than this bag. They are also shaped differently. That said, they are average bags-- probably a good bargain, but receiving the bags I asked for would have been a much better bargain.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Poor storage
Comment: Poor storage and not flexible in terms of mounting. If you already have other things mounted on the rod, it will be really hard to mount it and attach it to the chair.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Fine for lightweight objects
Comment: I bought this bag because it looked like the right size to stow our medium-duty bike lock when my family and I go biking. Unfortunately, the velcro straps could not support that much weight when going over bumpy terrain.
My wife was testing it out and rode over a wooden bridge. On the way off the bridge, one of the straps came loose and the pack came in contact with the rear tire and got abraded pretty badly. She had to re-secure the straps and then ride very carefully for the rest of the trip.
This bag is probably fine for carrying light objects on paved roads, but it wasn't quite up to the task for our needs.

Summary: almost perfect...
Comment: This is large enough to hold my cell phone, wallet, keys, and a snack, with room to spare. It secures very well to the seat post with a wrap around velcro strap. But I think the top velcro straps were designed for a wider saddle (perhaps as on a child's bike or a flat saddle on a hybrid) rather than my narrower women's saddle. They are hard to secure to my saddle, and don't always stay in place, but the good news is that it hasn't mattered and the seat bag hasn't bounced off or spun around or flapped in the wind. But - especially for the money - this bag does exactly what I need when I'm out on my bike.

Summary: Poor velcro strap design
Comment: Most bicycle shop cycling equipment is a total ripoff moneywise when compared to the intrinsic cost of materials and manufacturing. So it's great that Schwinn and Bell make decent cycling equipment for your dollar. But on some items, they could use smarter product designers. This bag is a very good value in regard to size and overall construction, but the mounting straps are lame. I couldn't get the velcro straps to stay attached on my seat rails because they're too short. And I had to uncomfortably squeeze my fingers into a very small space between the rails to attach the straps to their counterpart. But even if they were longer, the design is illogical, and I've wrote Bell about it. A better design would be to have longer straps that meet and attach on the underside of the bag so as to accommodate all types of seats, not underneath and between the seat rails as it is now. So I bought some velcro straps from Home Depot and rigged it myself, and I suggest buyers to do the same. After I did that, I am a happy camper.
