Hey Fedi!

What's your favourite way of transporting a tube of (33") arrows on a bike?

@szakib What's the diameter? Anything less than 3"/5-7cm(?) and I'd strap it to my top tube. Wider and probably strap it to my back/sling over my shoulder.
@edd Slightly over 10cm and it's quite much longer than the top tube. Strapping it there was also my first idea, but it's too big in both directions.
@szakib Yea, probably strapped over the back, as much as I dislike to do that. You could put it on the rear rack and have it stick out pretty far, but that could be a hazard in its own way.
@edd as said in another branch of replies, my best idea so far is vertical in an Ortlieb side bag. I guess I am fishing for something where it's vertical, but less dangly than that.
@szakib Could always lash it to the rack at the top so it's in the side bag, but not just floating in it. Maybe with something else at the bottom of the bag as well to give it two points of securement. If you had two rubber straps, or the ability to macrame a little bottom bit for extra support, you could use two straps to hold it vertically on a rack. Rubbery straps/rubber shims should provide enough friction to keep it from slipping down if tight enough.

@szakib Or if time isn't really of the essence, something like the Banjo Brother's mounting system could probably be created for the tube. Something like the fourth picture here [1], but with only a single hook on top probably that connects to the bungee strap (and strap held in place with some strapping). Kind of like this?

@edd this second one is interesting, but I will try the bag + bungee to keep it tight first. Simpler if it works well.
@szakib The idea of bike archery is really humorous to me right now to be honest. Bike quivers for archery on bike-back (and funnily enough I did find one archery brand that also owns a bike brand, but sadly doesn't mix them).
@edd it would be really hard to aim while cycling without hands. Even more so with my 72" bow. :D
