Soon...very soon. I've been dreaming up the perfect bag I want for myself. I've got a bum shoulder from getting hit by a car so I really need to be wearing a backpack when I bike ride.

I've got a ridic collection of random bags around my apartment. I keep giving them away and yet I always seem to have more. I've got 2 Boblbee and a Puma hung on the wall as art only because there's not enough shelf space left anywhere else.

I've had this backpack for at least 25 years, and used it for everything: bicycling, motorcycling, hiking. It's still in fantastic shape; zippers, stitchng, material good as new. Two compartments, and waterproof. If I need to haul anything too big to fit in it, I use one of my bikes with a rack.

I have two Timbuks, a med black (about 12 years old) and a green and black large (10 years old.) Also a Bailey Works that doesn't fit too well unless it's really loaded. I keep telling my self that I'll get a new one when my Timbuks fall apart but they still look almos

Timbuk2s don't fit me at all. The weight is super unbalanced, so I'm giving Chrome a try.

I've got a small Deuter backpack. It's actually the daypack that pops off of this bad boy: https://www.amazon.com/Deuter-Quantum.../dp/B001QTRCUU
It's perfect for quick day rides where I want to carry a lock and tools/pump + a pair of shoes or some discs for disc golf, etc. Probably use that the most.
Also got a Camelbak Mule, which I don't bother using the bladder with. Makes for a pretty versatile all-around backpack. About twice the capacity of the Deuter.
And the messenger bag, for when I need to haul lots of stuff, or bigger items, or I want to look cool. Custom black/green/yellow, made by some guy.

I generally try to avoid using a bag, but sometimes it's necessary. So I use the free one I was given, as the original owner was cleaning out things he never used. This one was still in a plastic bag and never used, not even once, until I used it:

I like it and at first I was skeptical of taking another's clutter, fearing it would suffer a similar fate.

Medium black/yellow/black timbuk2 right shoulder. Got it on discount from the bikeshop that was in the same building as where i worked when i started biking six years ago.
Stole a Red/black Chrome Citizen from my wife and started using it when she had to start driving to work and i had to carry more crap. it's bigger and nicer but it's left shoulder ><
i'm not even left handed but i perfer to dig in my bag on that side...
edit: oh yeah. i also stole my wife's chrome because she lost the stabilizing strap on my bag...

Left-shouldered bags are for right-handed people.
Deuters are pretty sweet. My friend always carries around a small yellow one like the one posted above. I like the suspension system.

Yeah I beat the crap out of that thing. Really solidly made, light as a feather, and just the ride size for most rides. Can't complain.
