City Slicks(ters)

Just heard about this new British brand, Slicks.  They've launched what looks like a neat little backpack for cycle commuters.  Not cheap, even by Rapha standards, but might be worth a look for hardcore commuting types. 

Apparently the design includes separate suit and shirt holders, plus shoe pockets etc.  Everything except hot and cold running power-shower, basically.  Clearly designed for long-distance commuters with proper jobs, rather than spoilt PR types who can commute in their scruffy work clothes. 

Early reviews seem pretty positive - not sure it will ever displace my beloved Patagonia - but a brand worth watching.

  1. Looks nice. I've been using a Timbuk2 bag my wife bought me nearly five years ago, and have cycled in virtually everything with it - very happy to recommend it. Don't think they're exactly cheap, but has done me proud: http://www.timbuk2.com/tb2/products/messenger/messenger-laptop/
