Oh no! Someone other than a bicyclist was using a bag that makes sense! Get over it. I was car free for 4+ years, motorcycles only, and used my Metro because it did everything I needed it to. If it doesn't suit your 'fashion' or earn you any "StreetCred" don't use it. They are tools and should be used as such.

2. Yes, for good reason: dollar for dollar they are the most affordable, reliable, and usable personal storage medium per square inch. Consider the features of multi-layer waterproofing, customization choices, size choices, strap positioning, comfort (even while walking for light loads), and durability, among many others. There's a great reason many other people aside from cyclists use them: for $170 you get a handmade, fine-crafted bag miles ahead of anything else.
Thank you. Total agreement.
