The Morning Commute

Finding excuses to not ride your bike is easy. There are tons of totally valid reasons not to ride, in fact until I started my new job I found it very hard to ride my bike to work. At my previous job, I needed the car to run errands around town. Now that I have access to a pool car, I have found it much easier to get to work on my bike.

The biggest problem I've found riding to work, is carting all my junk back and forth. Clothes, food, work clothes, yoga clothes...it all adds up and takes up a LOT of space. Fortunately, I have found a solution to this little problem. Last month, I ordered a new messenger bag from Under the Weather . It arrived in the mail today and I am super stoked.

To demonstrate the greatness of my new bag, take a look at all my stuff. Tomorrow I'm going for a swim and I have some important meetings, so from left to right: my make-up, lunch, u-lock, swim gear and suit. Definitely too much stuff, right?

Wrong! It all fits snug as a bug in a rug in my new bag. The best part, is the bag is super comfortable on my back and doesn't move around while I ride. Plus, it is sturdy and you can tell that the bag was made of high quality material. Here it is, I had to use the flash, but it highlights the reflective tape sewn onto the back.
