[RBW] Re: Carrying yoga mat on your Rivendell?
I use a rolled up knit carpet for yoga. Feels (and smells) a lot nicer than then the synthetic ones and fits great in my Carradice saddle bag. Have to try straping it directly to the bagman support as suggested above.

I put the Manduka sideways on the nitto big rear rack, and strap it down w/ the long john's irish strap. It sticks out a bit to either side, but no problems. This topic makes me wonder if yesterday's post-ride hamstring cramp might have been avoided if I'd made it to class in the last couple of weeks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Brett if you're not trying to be snarky or derisivw then I apologize but I don't think that tone is necessary for this thread.

[RBW] Re: Carrying yoga mat on your Rivendell?
I carry my super heavy Manduka, or up to 3 regular mats (for teaching privates) lengthwise on my Tubus Vega rear rack with one of those flat multi-strand bungees going from near one drop out to the other. With a long heavy mat it's important to place some of the strands close to the saddle so the mat can't cantilever itself off the rack. Lengthwise carrying helps with lane splitting... :) Cheers, Gernot On Aug 28, 10:01 pm, Seth Vidal skvi...@gmail.com wrote: Brett if you're not trying to be snarky or derisivw then I apologize but I don't think that tone is necessary for this thread.

[RBW] Re: Carrying yoga mat on your Rivendell?
Tim, I use the interrupter brakes on my noodle bars and have found that rolling the mat up and sticking it crosswise through both drops of the h'bars works well. I have also done it without the interrupters on another bike, but I don't feel like i have the same amount of control; totally doable though. -Andy downward dog Mari On Aug 27, 4:23 pm, andrew hill neurod...@gmail.com wrote: Clearly this is justification for buying a new, double top tube Rivendell, so you can tuck it btw the tubes. :) On Aug 27, 2011, at 4:00 PM, Peter Pesce wrote: Is this the same kind of thin mat I see sticking out of purses and packs all over Manhattan?

[RBW] Re: Carrying yoga mat on your Rivendell?
If lashed to a saddle bag the long slender weight of the mat will likely put too much torque on the leather straps and the whole thing will sway too much, at least in my experience. For short trips you can lay or strap it on the top of the drops behind the hoods as well. If using a mat it is my thick heavy Munduka, and requires a pretty solid lashing as well as the fact that it is kind of bulky for sling cary. Lashed to my bagman as previously posted works well, but it can also be lashed longways to any rack. Paniers work well too, just leave it sticking out of the top. Where ther is a will there will be a way.
