I strongly recommend a bar bag rather than a saddle bag. Advantage: it's
in front of you, so you can have a map on top of it, and you can get
chewy bars out of it without stopping. Modern bar bags clip on and off
the bike easily, and most come with shoulder straps making them easy to
carry off the bike.
