The energy gel pack clamping fixture is a device used for fixably securing multiple gel packs in a central and convenient location about the horizontal tube member just behind the handlebar stem of bicycles. The fixture includes a central rail flame having an arrangement of integrally molded compression gland grooves and mounting tabs on both ends where adjustable cable tie wraps secure the rail about the tube member. A gel pack is secured about the rail frame by positioning the tear-off tab over the gland depression such that the tearing axis lies along the lateral edge of the gland. A snap clamp piece is oriented and pressed about the top of the tear-off tab then forcibly inserted into the mating gland while deforming the tab in place. The snap clamp piece locks in place when deflectable insertion tab arms become seated beneath the lower edge of the rail flame receiving slots. In this manner, repeated for each of multiple packs, the fixture facilitates central mounting and tear opening of energy gel packs in a repeatable and quick fashion.
