Abstract
The invention is a ball bag for attachment to the handlebars of a bicycle for carrying sport balls in a convenient and safe manner. The bag is made of fastened webbing with a centerpiece, three cross pieces, two angled end pieces, and four adjustable attachment straps. The relative length of the centerpiece to the end pieces, and the angles in the end pieces and between the end pieces and the attachment straps cooperate to create a tenacious, spherical interior cavity for the sport ball when the adjustable attachment straps are secured to the handlebars of a bicycle and around the sport ball.
