I have a short commute... maybe 5 miles one way to work.
Any advice on using a small messenger bag to carry stuff to work vs a belt pack?
What do YOU prefer and why?
Do you hate belt packs and love messenger bags?
I use a messenger bag, by the time I shove a change of clothing, papers, lunch and warm clothing for the trip home (it gets cold at night where I live) into the bag I wouldn't want that much weight in a belt pack.
I like the Patagonia Critical Mass, the T-strap system lets me carry stuff low on my back but it still stays in one place. It works well as a shoulder bag off the bike, too. -- mark
