Of all the bags out there, the bicycle is naturally synonymous with the messenger. But your workaday bike messenger is not likely to be seen with any of these hands-free carryalls! No, even while pedaling, whether your working a beach-cruiser or a cityslicker, a snob must have a bag to match her activity. Here, my current favorite bike-riding bags, no basket required:

1. Lanvin Opanca Bag PM: Cruise the streets in a classy take on the camera bag. Snap photos while you sightsee during the day, then take this versatile mini into afterhours.

3. Barneys New York Co-Op Hunting Bag: Play up your preppy side with this crisp canvas frugal find that is sure to rest comfortably across your shoulder.
