Seconding Carradice bag. Got a Barley on my roadbike which is just big enough for lunch and some stuff, and capacity can be doubled by stuffing items into grocery sacks and attaching to outside bag w/ bungee net. Shouldnt even have to do this if you get one of their bigger bags, and purchased from Wiggle the prices are competitive with the pannier options.
