Thanks for the rec. I have a messenger bag but it's not really one that should be used for biking, it's more of a shoulder bag I did use it, but I had to constantly readjust it, which was really annoying after awhile, and it was always pulling on my neck and shoulder. It's really squishy, though, so I figure I can just lash it to the rack next time. But I will check out the Chrome bags. I know some people also swear by the Timbuk2 bags as well.
