cheap bicycle messenger bag

for a while i’ve kept bungee cords in my bike’s rack sack. these are super handy for a number of things including, i just learned, turning my shoulder laptop bag into a bicycle messenger bag.

  1. shorten the bag strap so it hangs a little past your elbow
  2. cross the strap to the far shoulder from the bag and hang the bag over your back so the strap crosses your chest
  3. attach one end of the bungee cord to the strap hook by your elbow
  4. thread the free bungee end under the strap on your chest, back to the strap hook where the other end is attached and hook it there, too

that’s it! now bring that laptop home and squeeze one more work day out of the week!
