13 Backpacks for Bike Commuters That Aren’t Embarrassing to Lug to Work

Now that spring has sprung, many of us are trading in our morning SEPTA commute for a commuter bike. This is both a blessing and a curse: On one hand, biking to work means you get to soak up some sun, see the city and get a workout in, all before 9 a.m. Talk about a productive morning, huh? On the other hand, it also means you have to find a backpack that fits all your crap and doesn’t scream Hi, I think I’m lost. Can you point me to the nearest high school? when you walk into the office. If you’ve ever tried to find said backpack, you know: It’s a truly miserable task.

But don’t give up and resort to your so-old-it’s-probably-vintage monogrammed L.L. Bean backpack quite yet. We did some hunting and found the 13 chicest commuter-friendly backpacks for men and women. (Some of them are so chic, they don’t even remotely resemble a backpack. See slide number six.) Now all you’ve got to do is pick one.
