In the same way that the fixed gear curve is spiking upwards (I'm 100% guilty of being a part of that, for disclosure), in a couple/few years the "kids" are going to be bragging about places they've stealth camped and how much freight they can carry how far on their commutes. The guys making custom messenger bags will make custom panniers and saddle/handlebar bags.
Again, I am ****ing stoked. = )
Yee haw. With help from a friend I have a home made messenger bag. I've started collecting the bits for a set of front panniers and am saving up for a touring bike these days. It's driving me nuts, I can't wait to get it!
