When it comes to bike accessories, the norm is function over fashion. Utilitarian and stylish are two words that are not commonly associated with each other. But with the recent increase of commuting cyclists, companies that focus their goods around being hip and durable have popped up around the globe. One of these companies is Po Campo, a utilitarian hand bag company that focuses their products around cycling.
Not typically a handbag type of girl, I gave the Po Campo Logan Tote a go after seeing it at Interbike and on the Terry website. Coming in various patterns, I chose the waxed canvas for its classic look and water resistant properties. This spacious yet mid sized bag can be attached to the top of a rack while you ride and slung over your shoulder when you are walking around town.
I put the water repellent feature of it to the test while biking around town during a sudden down pour. My laptop and various accoutrements inside stayed dry and the reflective strips on the side helped keep me visible. Road grime that got on the bag wiped off the waxed canvas easily. The bright blue interior color of the Logan Tote also made finding small items easy while fumbling around under a street lamp for my bike lock. Over all, this bag does what it is intended to do, hold a lot of stuff and look great.
To purchase a Po Campo visit Mark down at Saturday Cycles, he stocks three different styles and two colors.
