Topo bags are rugged as hell, and there are all sorts of styles and sizes. There's also a Rover Pack Mini, but my Classic is perfectly sized for a laptop, notebooks, utensils, small cameras, etc. I highly recommend getting the sternum strap that clips across the chest and sinches the bag higher and closer to your body. This takes a ton of stress off the lower back even when fully loaded up.

several friends of mine swear by their backpacks and they make cute mini bags too. They sell out quick online though - bonus is that they do free shipping for US orders over $50

Im not a big biker so I cant speak specifically to their biking options, but friends who are say theyβre great! Husband and I each have one of their cross body/fanny pack styles and really love them.

A more utilitarian rec. This one packs down small but can expand larger when necessary. The strap is removable so it can double as an organizer bag in larger luggage.

Here it is, folks! Volume I of what could very well be a continuous project. Thank you so much to everyone that submitted - I smiled the entire time I was putting this together. It's best listened to with headphones βΊοΈ
Liner Notes:
This collection of field recordings is a collaborative effort with users of PI.FYI, each of which recorded their own pieces. It features audio from all over the world and exhibits eclectic moments from London Underground commutes to cuckoo bird calls in Dhaka to the sounds of a century-old American diner.
Online communities like PI.FYI often represent a diverse set of people, places, and experiences, but together, the submissions form a living collage that highlights the commonalities of modern life - a unifying message for such a tumultuous time. The first track features all of the sounds played at once in an attempt to create an audio snapshot of an online community but in their offline lives.
The individual recordings are unedited except for minor gain and compression adjustments for consistency across the collection.
