No more Chrome Bag

I sold my Chrome Bags Citizen messenger bag last night. I loved it. Super tough and waterproof. Cool looking. But I found that I can't carry a real load in the bar or my shoulder starts to hurt something fierce. I can carry the loaded bag fine on my bike, but when I start to walk around I get about 10 minutes of grace before the throbbing starts.

And the bag just wasn't quite large enough. I always felt that I needed just a little more space. And given the pain induced by a fully loaded bag, I'm lucky that I didn't get a larger bag. Which could carry more stuff. Which could cause more pain.

So I'm using panniers almost exclusively until I decide if I want a backpack or not. Truly a rough life. -grin-
