this nefarious msgr. bag
It's a ripoff Patagonia that my Dad gave me as a gift, so I try to use it from time to time. But how come it always slips down to my side? I have to push the thing back onto my back something like every 5 mins. of a ride. Is it possible to be too skinny for one of these bags? Hipsters, bike messengers, poseurs, whoever, help me out, I'm tired of feeling bag-challenged on my bike. |
all you can really do is tighten it, a lot
|
i think the patagonia bags don't have a stabilizing strap, if you were able to sew one on that would solve the problem.
|
1. Get a new bag that has a stabilizing strap a la most messenger bags.
or 2. Use a back pack |
wtf! I'm seein things!

|

Update: Just went out for a ride, used the stabilizer strap (yes, the large Patagonia ones have 'em). Still slid down, though not as much. I'm thinking I'm just too skinny for the damn thing. Next option: an Ortlieb that I just bought off of a friend. Thing is, thing says "MESSENGER" in big letters on the back, and as I'm NOT one, nor wish to portray one in public, I feel veeeeeeeery poseur-esque even using it. All I know is, my North Face backpack just isn't cutting it--too small. erg. |

Nefarious is a great word. Thumbs up for good vocabulary.

hey, man, thanks. I decided to try harder when I read 'impudent freewheel removal' by A. King in the Mechanics section. I say we all work on integrating arcane argot into all of our thread titles. PS Fugazi, the only truly revolutionary band. |
Correct words for the use should be more often. Unfortunatly, this is the internet. Often posts might not even include a word, just awolese/
Why do I bother to correct typos when typing drunk? Because it's the right thing to do. |
