I think those dual pocket contraptions are called panniers, or I've also heard them called "saddle bags". Most of the ones I've seen are just fabric, they aren't generally padded to protect the contents. If you're gonna put a laptop in there you should probably first put the laptop in some kind of padded sleeve.

I haven't looked at bikes in many a year, but mine has behind the seat a piece of metal over which this contraption hangs, like saddle bags. You are welcome to it, in fact, I have two. I also have back packs, all sorts, sizes , shapes and colors just lying around waiting for someone who could use them as well as other carrying cases, from attach?s to shoulder bags. My hiking times are over. I plan to be at that Anf?nger meeting of the group, and I could bring those bicycle contraptions and some. And Jerry, Freeman ,that is, why do you test my brain so much!? - It took me several precious minutes to figure out the peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I guess, when I was small, we took liverwurst Brote to school. The first peanut butter I came in contact with was through a Care package from a friend in America after WWII. And we just licked this precious paste teaspoon by teaspoon trying to make it last and last! Marta On Jan 26, 2006, at 21:07, Jerry Freeman wrote: > Put your laptop bag inside your backpack?
