I ride my bike to work a lot and was looking for a messenger style bag to replace my backpack. This bag sits nicely on my back and shoulder and doesn't move around while I am pedaling. It is small but fits everything I need from my laptop, power chords, papers, and books. I also like the way it looks and feels. The only problem I have with it is the shoulder strap. It is sewn and fixed into place and is a bit cumbersome. I went to the store in Duluth to buy a pad for the strap but realized I couldn't add a pad for my shoulder because the strap doesn't come off. I consider this a small hassle that doesn't outweigh the quality and practicality of the bag. I would but the bag again despite the strap design.
