Look No Further For The Perfect Messenger Bag
We're all searching for the right bike bag to use for a bike commute. Whether you're going to and from work in New York City, Chicago, Boston, L.A., or even Berlin or Paris, finding the right bag can make or break your commute.
Getting your things to and from work--and anywhere else you're going--is essential!
You can use bike messenger bags, rear racks and bike rack bags, bicycle panniers, a bicycle backpack, and anything else you can think of. Many commuters use bike bags in conjunction with a bike basket. If you're really fancy you can even pick up a bike trailer!
Today we're going to talk about some of the things you might need to look for in the right messenger bag for you. Here are a few tips:
1. A waterproof bag is pretty much a must
2. Find something comfortable--hopefully a padded back and strap
3. Look for a reputable brand like Vaya Bags & Mer Bags
4. Handmade & Unique messenger bags will help you stand out from the crowd
5. Try to pick the right size for you--do you need a huge bike messenger bag for all of your things, or something smaller just to carry the essentials--a small laptop, books and lunch?
6. Consider compartments
7. Find a strap that is easy to use and comfortable, you may like a quick release!
I'd look into all of these ideas when searching for the best messenger bag. It can be a hard search so here are some suggestions.
The Vaya Bags Messenger Bag/ Courier Bag(http://nymb.co) is a great option! They are super comfortable, made from high quality recycled materials, completely waterproof and made in NYC!
Mer Bags makes a courier bag that is extremely durable! It is fully waterproof with Cordura fabric, handmade in NYC, and more importantly it can fit all of your things with ease!
Some people use Timbuk 2 bags, which are great, but can have too many compartments and are not as unique as the one mentioned above. Certainly a great brand either way.
If you can't find a messenger bag that you really like then consider getting a bicycle backpack or bike pannier. Some people prefer to use two straps, or keep it off of their back all together. A bike pannier and backpack hybrid could be a perfect option for you!
