I have been cycling around London with two bags because I have been shopping. The bag hanging from the handle bar is a
folding shoulder bag by Muji. When folded it goes into a pouch which I pop into my main bag. In the photo above the bag is carrying a pair of ankle boots which I got from
Office this week. I am not keeping them because they are too big. I find it easy to sling both bags over my back when changing trains but when I am cycling I strap the Timbuk 2 bag on the rack and carry the Muji bag on my back.

I don't like carrying much weight on my back, the weight is more pronounced, the swaying bag distracts, it thereby slows me down, and on more gruelling rides: on my clothes it shows.
I am *still* considering the C-bag for day to day stuff, but to be honest I don't like the look of it: dull, generic, and branded - I don't like logos, let alone prominent ones, on my clothing, tools, and accessories, and when there is a collection of identical ones, it looks a tad uninspired.
Usually when I'm in a hurry I tend to bump the hinge clamp bolt getting of or on the bus/train.
And it's really annoying – I try to watch out when I go through narrow spaces but sometimes I hear a bang and I know I did it again.
I hope it's strong enough to take it.
