Saw this review on the Fixed Gear Gallery and I thought it was pretty dumb. Light weight fabric with a thin, uncomfortable looking shoulder strap. I dismissed it out of hand.

But then last night I stoped at the grocery store. Sure enough, I filled my already full pannier and rack space. What to do with my bread-stuffs? I ended up carrying them in a bag on my handlebars and am now much more convinced of owning an emergency shoulder bag.

Of course I could track down a sewing machine and make one of these, but it will cost me at least $4.99 in materials and time. I think this bag is worth five bucks, if only to support some guys/gals making useful bike equipment.
