biff,
I have a very large old time satchel that I picked up
at a yard sale years ago.
It fits enough stuff for a 3 day trip and has brass fittings. It’s heavy as hell though so it sits in the closet.
And guess what it’s made of?
…Walrus skin.
It’s all convoluted in texture with deep creases and of a very thick hide. no joke, It must be from the
1920’s or earlier.
Speaking of bags, “bag” in Finnish is “pussi.” I learned this when I was in Helsinki and saw a store called the “karkki pussi.” I asked a Finnish woman what that meant and she told me karkki is candy and pussi is bag.
Much as I HATE agreeing with ET about ANYTHING, the bag in her link isn’t bad. I still say go with the drawstring backpack. Backpacks like mine, and like your larger one, are what people here carry.
that video is HYSTERICAL. it’s a filipino cross dresser performing a whitney houston song at a high school talent show, but it gets really creepy really fast…
The bike basket is an excellent idea. You should get a nice bonnet too.

Thanks, Wasder 🙂
Guess I am too used to oil guys!
Also, I think you should just drive to work in a Silverado.
Why not just get a basket on your bike for your stuff.

Murse looks cooler than string bag.
