Scarred, they're totally worth the investment. Super high quality, the main inside compartment is removable and completely waterproof, they look awesome, have a secret, velcro-shut pocket in the lining (great for stashing your weed and related paraphernalia, among other things) and sport a fucking seat belt buckle. Honestly if you want a nice bag which is convenient to bike with I cannot possibly recommend Chrome any more.
I'd get one but I don't bike much and they don't really fit my aesthetic otherwise.
Crumpler bags are excellent camera bags but a little too bright and nylon to be fashionable.
Alex C:
Chrome is a pretty popular brand name too so it's worth checking craigslist, since it's not like people are really trading in counterfeits to the same extent as with fashion bags. I snagged a green mini metro bag as an impromptu college gift for my li'l brother for $60, and since it's made of cordura it's not like it really suffered any from being lightly used.
BlahBlah:
Honestly.I don't see what's wring with a backpack. I feel naked without a backpack on
Alex C:
Well, see, I have a road bike with drop handlebars and I like to go fast and low for at least some part of the ride. So your standard cheap backpack is annoying because they sit high on the back, don't have an anti-sway strap and can't really cinch up as tight. Once during a hard stop I ended up getting smacked right upside the back of the head with my own books REAL hard and so now I have a messenger. If you're just going to putter around on a fixie cruiser with sweep bars then I really doubt it matters, but that doesn't mean there isn't some advantages to having a good messenger bag.
