A messenger bag is a sack with a strap that's worn over one shoulder and rests on the lower back. Once only used by bicycle messengers, these bags are now considered a popular fashion item.
History and Use
Messenger bags have been used to transport various types of goods. Pony Express riders and postal workers were the most common users of these bags. Bicycle messengers around the world have used these bags to deliver mail and packages.
Messenger bags are designed to provide comfort while carrying large or heavy items. The one strap, over the shoulder design makes contents easily accessible to the carrier. They are also convenient for use with bicycles since the bags can be made stable and easily incorporated with other accessories like lights. Messenger bags are also used today in place of regular sacks or backpacks. They are popular with students, business people, and motorcyclists.
