Hey everyone, I'm looking for some insights of my fellow riders. I'm starting to carry more tactile stuff with me, pens, paper, a calendar, a small driver kit, some small tools, etc. For this I want to start carrying a bag. I like the flexibility of a sling/messenger bag, but I'm looking for experiences with them on a bike.

  • Are they comfortable for commute driving (<45 minutes)?
  • How is quick access?
  • Do you use it outside of riding as well? I'd like it to be somewhat nice looking so I could carry it while walking / at music festivals for instance.
  • Any extra information or recommendations are definitely welcome!

I'd love to hear your insights!

I've tried a sling type camera bag on the bike, and it was a pain in the arse. It wasn't heavy enough to risk my balance, but it kept sliding around and trying to settle under my elbow. It was quite distracting and annoying. I don't bother with it now, and just put the whole lot in my rucksack instead.
