  4. As a trike owner I find that the mounting of accessories is always a challenge. Mounting a map case
    presented a special problem.

    My solution was to strap it around my waist. The strap is one of those 1-inch-wide woven types
    (adjustable with a quick release). They're available at REI, Campmor, etc. as backpack tie-downs and
    run about 4 ft. for about $2. I also spied them at HomeDepot after the fact.

    The map case itself was an old kayak map case. Water-proof with a clip on each corner. The original
    size accomodated an 11x14 inch sheet which I found to be too large for cycling so I simply cut the
    case in half. The cut edge became the new opening, kept closed by adhesive-backed velcro strips.
    Threaded the belt through the two remaining clips and voila!

    The solution worked out well (for once).

  5. Steve,

    I bought a clear plastic pencil holder at office depot for about 1.99 and use a big paper clip
    around the horizontal bar between the handlebars. I have about 4" by 8" of the map visible.
    Works great.

    regards,

    I just clip the map to the bottom of my jersey. I works pretty well. You have to hold it up to read
    it, but at least it's readily accessible.

  8. When I rode club rides all the time on my upright, I used an alligator clip tie-wrapped to the
    handlebar. Worked great. Now in my USS SWB, I have a badge clip tie-wrapped to the boom about 8-10
    inches ahead of the headset. I fold the map/route instructions so they fit between the clip and the
    headset. Sometimes they are a little far away for reading with my bifocals but...
