[RBW] Re: WTB/ISO: Handsome laptop-sized pannier
Po campo has this pretty laptop pannier that looks like a regular tote bag. https://www.pocampo.com/collections/trunk-pannier-bags/products/bergen-laptop-pannier . I have this on one bike and an ortlieb on another. This one isn’t as voluminous as the ortlieb but holds plenty .

[RBW] Re: WTB/ISO: Handsome laptop-sized pannier
I tried a number of different options commuting with a laptop years back. My favorite by far was the now discontinued Ariel briefcase. There is one on eBay but it is well worn. That would be my recommendation if you can find one. Attachment is typical Arkel, so rock solid. I think the rain cover hides underneath. Once you use the flap to cover the hardware on the back it is indistinguishable from a regular laptop bag. I carried it into numerous meetings and no one recognized it as a bike bag unless I showed them the hardware. Plenty of pockets to keep things organized and it has straps to cinch it down for the ride.

Here is an example of what a quick search found https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/569539749/waterproof-cycle-bag-for-women-and There are many other options and I have no experience with this seller or the products. I have had great kick shopping on Etsy though and can recommend the site in general. IanA On Thursday, August 11, 2022 at 9:41:02 PM UTC-6 Ian A wrote: > One option is to have a look on Etsy.

One option is to have a look on Etsy. I did a search for bicycle briefcase and some nice leather ones popped up. Some are quite expensive, but Etsy is a good place to find utilitarian things that don't look utilitarian.

Ortlieb used to make one called the "Downtown." I have one and it's super sturdy but it's unwieldy too. It's even uglier than a regular bag, but it gets the job done. Mine looks like this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/144622913931?hash=item21ac32898b%3Ag%3AiWAAAOSwRj1io6Vv&nma=true&si=je6AynF2qQs6ZM2hngB95uElmWQ%253D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 m On Thursday, August 11, 2022 at 8:30:21 PM UTC-4 Caroline Golum wrote: > Been on the hunt for this for a while but as I’m commuting to the office a > few days a week I figured I’d ask around.
