Recommend basic bike daypack

[Jeff]

I'm looking for a well made cycling daypack - like a small knapsack with two shoulder straps and a
waist strap, to keep it from swinging back and forth. I don't need a hydration system pack, or
anything technical. It's for bike commuting to work. Any specific suggestions for something well
made? Thanks in advance. Jeff

Why don't you buy a rack, and a pair of panniers. I used to use a pack, but panniers work out much
better. I also think they are safer than having a pack on your back. The cost could be around a
$100, but you should make up that with savings in gas. I figure I save by owning one car which my
wife uses for work.

Or a handlebar bag. I have a waterproof Nashbar bar bag with waterproof clear map window on top. I
use it for camera, passport, wallet, snacks, cable lock, extra clothing, etc. Easy to access while
riding and unclips to carry with you with shoulderstrap.
