Just after ideas on how to transport the clubs.
Anyone ride a bicycle to the driving range?

Just take a few, slung alung the crossbar, heads to the front and fastened with a short bungee.

A pal often rides his 125cc with a carry bag of clubs slung over his shoulder.
I used to ride to hockey practice for many years with a bag across my back. I'd suggest a pencil bag would be ideal for a few golf clubs. You don't want anything to bulky, obviously, or something that could tip
I used to sellotape a few to the cross bar when I were a lad.

I was doing just that in 1978 on a Honda 50cc, but some chaps like you persuaded me to stop doing so. They were right, of course.

When I lived in Bristol and before I had a car, I‘d occasionally cycle up the Gloucester Rd (A38) from my digs (in Lockleaze for those who know) to the golf club in Filton carrying my clubs over my shoulder. It was over 3miles. Thinking about it now I can’t actually believe I did that

Problem is the movement will loosen the zips. There is a purpose built one but as with everything these days, it is massively overpriced at £200!

Yep. I can drive there and similar distance and they pedestrianised the country lane right outside mine so thinking cycling could be funWhen I lived in Bristol and before I had a car, I‘d occasionally cycle up the Gloucester Rd (A38) from my digs (in Lockleaze for those who know) to the golf club in Filton carrying my clubs over my shoulder.

I’ve just seen some backpack straps that might connect to the clips on the titleist pencil bag so this might work

Think this is my option B as I can get some pads to stop the bike scratching

Saw a Honda Pan European in our club car park earlier this week, with a carry bag bungeed to the rear rack

Take your normal carry bag...put the cover on it, sling it over your shoulder, no problems.
When I was a kid my mates and I would go fishing...rod holdall with two or three rods, landing net, rod rests, keepnet over one shoulder. Tackle box over the other shoulder. We used to cycle miles in all weathers like this.

Dunno who sells them in Uk but I'd have though a golf rifle/gun bag would suit for this type of range commute

When I was a kid I once discovered that this was a handy place to carry cricket stumps on my Raleigh Arena, between the handlebar and the secondary brake lever...
You could probably fit 4 or 5 golf clubs in there.
The only downside I discovered, while hurtling down a hill towards a busy junction, was that it renders the brakes totally inoperable.
I only did it the once.

I don't see why.
Stick in a half set, heads inside, camera, tripod, drink and stuff a towel in to keep everything secure.
I've just saved you £190

Get some of the large pipe insulation and lag your crossbar.
then lay clubs along making sure they don’t effect steering and brake cables.
put a bungee hook in saddle frame and wind around ( long one nessesary) to secure shafts.
wind to other end and hook over itself to secure.
been doing this for years.
sometimes you see the large yellow lagging on the pavement that’s fell off a van.
this is perfect for this,

Good luck cycling around with a gun bag on your back.

Yeah I was looking at similar. Problem is that part of the journey is a tight country lane and I don’t want some idiot at 60mph clipping it and dragging me off my bike. Might work with the backpack sraps I’ve seen though
