Upon request, I publish an image of the handlebar map holder I made for my touring bicycle.
It’s a skinny piece of plywood (or no matter you may have, different wooden, plastic, metallic) lower out to suit normal AAA highway maps. It’s hooked up to a mountain bike handlebar with a quill stem. I drilled some holes and used two [white, see picture for positioning] zip ties to connect it to the stem. I made a lower out on the high to make room for the bolts the place the handlebar attaches to the stem so the map holder rests flat in opposition to the handlebar with little or no flex.
The map is held to the wooden with the 4 rubber bands. Clearly it doesn’t work within the rain however will probably be straightforward to style a plastic cowl for that eventuality.If it rains, simply put the map in a ziploc bag.
If this looks as if an excessive amount of work (it actually wasn’t… two cuts with a noticed, 4 holes, and a few sandpaper) you should buy the same map holder at REI for $20. This one solely prices a number of cents to make.
