Rackless Mini-Rando Bags Are Your New Go-To For All Day Riding

by Igor

Our new Mini-Rando will be your favorite go-to for all day, fun, mixed-terrain rides. It's the perfect size for easy access to your compact camera, cell phone, keys, wallet, snacks, and light jacket.

The main body of the bag uses a plastic liner for rigidity, and the zippered top is soft for easier cramming, overstuffing, and retrieval of awkwardly shaped items.

The "trouser" pockets on either side of the bag make for quick access and storage of energy gels as well as their respective carcasses.

Attaching the Mini-Rando to your drop handlebars is a cinch. Use the pair of webbing and cam-locks to secure the bag to your tops, and use the length of paracord and cord-locks to the drops. You can rotate the position of the cord-locks so that it feels good in the drops.

While the Mini-Rando is designed to work best on drop bars, we have discovered several other applications that also rock:
  • Loop and secure the bag to a Wald 137 Basket for added capacity for things you may need to access frequently.
  • The upper support bar on the Klunkers makes for the perfect lashing position.
  • For three-piece bars like the Crazy Bars, you can use the upper loops to secure the bag to the forward extensions.
  • Off bike bike, using the included shoulder strap makes for a very fashionable and easy to use day-bag for walking and hiking excursions.
  • Size: 10 x 5.5 x 5.5 inches (25.4 x 14 x 14cm)
  • Capable of storing 6-7 seltzers
  • Weight: 300g
Entirely designed and manufactured in the USA as part of a collaborative effort between Velo Orange and Road Runner Bags of Los Angeles.

  1. Hey Igor,

    If that's a cold and sweating can of Spindrift, then you should probably put something in between it and your PowerShot. Doncha have a made-for-drinking-in-USA handlebar mount can coozy?

    Also, hey, that's a nice looking bag. ;)

    1. Hey, if tomatoes are fruit, then ketchup is a smoothie, right?

  3. Looks pretty much what I'm needing... One question though: Is there any accommodation for electronics (aka usb cable) other than out the zipper? Thanks!

  4. What's it like to ride with the cords? I feel like I'd find them getting in the way.

  5. @Brent Shultz,

    Just the zipper. The zipper garage does a good job of allowing you a place to pass a cord through without having too much exposed.

    I've been quite pleased and I'm usually pretty picky.

  6. Hello! Wondering what the capacity of this bag is in litres?
    7 x 0.330 = 2.3 litres? That seems a little lower than what I would expect (4 litres?)

  7. @Anonymous,

    The capacity is a bit over 4L. The 7 seltzer can capacity is a more tangible representation but does not account for space in between the cans, around the cans, and the corners. It was really just for fun rather than a technical measurement. The space within the bag is actually quite generous and can hold all of your stuff for an all-day outing.
