The full picture

Cycling bags are designed to stay put and stay comfortable while you're moving on a bike. The engineering challenges are weight distribution (so the bag doesn't unbalance you), retention (so it doesn't shift when you lean into a turn), and access (so you can reach things without stopping). Messenger bags originated with urban couriers who needed to carry documents across cities quickly. The single-strap crossbody design lets you swing the bag to your front while still on the bike.
