Timbuk2 Classic Messenger Bag
Great on and off the bike

This bag is outstanding, there is a reason they are so ubiquitous. Sizing is pretty large, I got the medium and can't imagine being able to carry the bigger ones on my bike. The medium fits my 15" laptop in sleeve, my change of clothes/shoes and my lunch pretty handily. You can squeeze more in, but may sacrifice the water resistance. The inside pockets handle all my tools, tubes, and toiletries as well.
The bag does everything it advertises, I got caught in a downpour with this on and was completely soaked, but everything in the bag remained dry. The cross strap works well to secure the bag and keeps it from shifting around while I ride. Also there is some flexibility so I can change the position of the bag slightly as I get tired.
It works great off the bike as well, which is great if I am stuck driving or taking the bus. Looks good and performs well. I got this at a great price on BonkTown, but knowing now how great it is I would have paid full price.
