I'm no bike messenger, but I've had my Timbuk2 bag since 2005, and have commuted on motorcycle with it, hiked, traveled to Europe, used it as a school bag, and did freakin' solo cross country motorcycle trip with it.

The worst Green Initiative is the LACK of any sort of initiative for LNG engines. We have huge amounts of natural gas in this country, a very extensive pre-existing infrastructure, and the technology is already viable and mature. As we pour money into solutions that will only be viable in 25 years, we ignore something…
Heh, the Pentagon is just a low-bit circle.
