ambivalent comment

If the bag you describe exists, I want one, too! The problem is that if the bag is big enough to carry that load, I'm probably not strong enough to carry the bag. As it is I have a large Timbuk2 messenger bag and it can carry the laptop and two of the most massive law books you'll ever find (or 3-4 smaller ones), but once it's all loaded like that it's no fun to bike with, let me tell you. I swear, if law books were smaller I'd read more. As it is, I sometimes just skip reading b/c I just can't deal w/hauling the necessary books around. Yeah, I are a bad law student. But if you find this perfect bag, let me know. If you don't, the Timbuk2 is pretty handy, sturdy, etc. Also pricey, but you might get what you pay for w/a bag like this.
