Problems with the stability of your Banana Guard? Frightened that your banana will fall onto the roadway during descents? Fear not - the Banana Leash (TM) is here.
Take one cable tie, pass through the pre-drilled holes in the Banana Guard. Connect to short fabric leash, the sort given out for security badges or in my case a keyring. Secure to handlebar bag using keyring-sized carabiner.
And where were all the shouts of Cakestop/ u.r.c. when I was cycling about with a yellow Banana Guard on my bike?

All unnecessary if you use the Original! Genuine! BananaMate[tm].
Ah, now that was what I needed yesterday when I was carrying two ten-foot lengths of two-by-four lashed to the crossbar. So much neater and easier than three yards of cotton-covered split-polythene clothesline.
I still don't understand (exactly) why the steering was quite so wobbly (as in why the bike reacted so much more quickly to any correction than my reactions were tuned to cope with).
You'd suddenly added 10kg to the bike, all along the top tube? :-)
