Hey r/bikecommuting,
I'm on the hunt for a new bag to use for my daily bike commute and could use some recommendations. Here's what I'm looking for:
- Daily Carry: Needs to hold my everyday essentials like wallet, keys, sunglasses, etc.
- Laptop Storage: Occasionally, about once a month, I need to carry a MacBook Pro 14".
- Stabilization: I want a 3-point system for better stabilization while riding.
- Extendable/Roll Top: I prefer a bag that's extendable, like a roll top, for those days when I need a little extra space.
- Size: Ideally, it should be around 3/4 liters when not extended.
I found the Pinqponq Aksel, which seems to tick most of my boxes, but I haven't been able to find many outside reviews and I'm hesitant to take the risk without more information.
One important note: I don't want a traditional backpack because it makes my back sweat during the summer.
Does anyone have any recommendations/alternatives or experience with the Aksel Pure Olive? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
