Mario Kart Bike Lane
Beacon Street has a bike lane! Just in time for me to move.
I’m a bag whore. And this is a nice bag. One day I’ll take some pictures of my sacks.
I would respectfully disagree.
That bag rides way too high, and if this guy were wearing a helmet, he’d be getting whacked in the back of the head every time he hit a bump. It’s high likely that he couldn’t comfortably turn his head as well.
If his bars were lower, the problem would be worse, with the bag forcing his gaze persistently down into the pavement. That might be the worst sensation on Earth while riding in traffic.
Finally, if he stood up the accelerate, the bag looks like it would bounce up and down and slosh from side to side—look at how far from the center of his body it is.
Bike bags need to keep cargo well below the shoulders to allow head-swing room, have effective chest/shoulder/waist straps to keep the bag tight to the body, and all sorts of compression straps to reduce protuberance and keep the load close to your center of mass.
They also need to be waterproof with reflective elements. I think this particular bag is a good water-resistant urethane, but I’ll always be a built-in rain fly guy, myself.
