Pedro's Messenger Bags

I took a trip to my lbs this morning to get a new tire and inner tube. I was looking around and spotted this yellow bag covered up by a bunch of moutian biking bags. Pulled it out, and took a look at it. The original price was 49.99, but it got marked down to 24.99, so i swooped on it. Its a pretty sweet bag. It had a removable cell phone pouch, 3 subdivisions in the main compartment. And it also had a small strap branching off the main strap to keep it from sliding off you back.

Looks like this.


Anyone else have a Pedro's bag?

I don't know anything about this company besides the fact that I own their tire levers. Looks like you got a sweet deal, although I'm personally not a fan of the yellow.

local bike store here in michigan had that same bag.

It wasn't bad, but I wouldn't trade my blick bag for anything, except the next blicks bag that I am lucky enough to have ordered!

Yeah. Its a good bag! The color isnt as bright in person. But I still love it, and for the price I got it for, who wouldn't?

I like the yellow. One of my instructors at Barnett's Bike Institute had one. He said he didnt really like it to much but it was free. I thought about picking one up cause they were super cheap in J&B when they stopped making them. Never did though. Been using a TimBuk2.

I like the pedro's trixie tool and the grease cleaner. One bit of criticism about their grease cleaner is the bottle in which they use are not very durable. Couple of squirts here and there and the spray actuator thing seems to have lost its mojo (ability to pump and spray).
