Thanks, Ryan. I love this kind of riding, when it isn't too cold.
One day I'll get a proper snow bike, but the Hunqapillar has been

If you're talking about eBay item #160538269691, I believe that's one
of those that were on sale at Riv's garage sale.
The garage sale green tweed country bags have the dowel on the main
flap. The "normal" ones (which I have a copy but it's not in tweed)
has the dowel slightly further inside the
