    Special was on thursday, but bought one of their helmets today, so they might be around tomorrow too.


    I remember seeing them for similar in Heatons in the Blachardstown SC too for similar money.

    OP re size it depends on what you want to put in it. That's not a smart answer, threads re whats in your bag pop up now and again and everyone carries different amounts. My bag holds one tube, a multi tool and tyre levers also any keys I need and a note (€) just in case I need to pay myself outa trouble. So the bag is pretty small. That said you see people with bags big enough to hold a small family while others have no bag and opt to keep everything in their jersey pockets.

    The longer I cycle the less I bring with me on cycles, a few years ago if I were going over 40km in a spin I would almost have the makings of a weekend bag with me, now I bring phone, one piece of food/fruit with water and a rain jacket (weather dependant). If you are new to cycling I would buy cheap bags (Aldi ones are fantastic value if not the prettiest) and change as you require. When you are happy with the size of bag you want then invest in a branded one if you wanna..

    Hope this helps.

    edit
    tbh the only reason I use a bag is cos I find the multi tool annoying in the jersey pocket, I know I would lose or forget tools, tube and I dont trust jersey pockets to carry cash/keys. When I get a domestique they can carry the stuff but until then saddle bag all the way!
