I don't think I know how to ride a bike. Yeah, you heard me right. Go ahead and laugh. Last time I tried it, I crashed on a parked car with two lovers smooching.
But no bother, city pedestrians like me (did I say inept?) can still savor the other pleasures of cycling.
Known for its beautifully handcrafted bike saddles, Brooks England also produces equally breathtaking cycle and motorcycle bags, my favorite of which is the Soho leather shoulder bag.
It is delightfully slim, and I love the combination of leather and fabric: urban and urbane.
If the Soho is too small for your needs, the Barbican leather shoulder bag might just be our thing.
Just as adjustable, it also possesses a leather shoulder support. I couldn't decide though what I like more: the rivets or the thin black strap securing the flaps.
Even bigger is the Hampstead holdall, which simply looks like a harnessed paper bag.
Neat, huh?
Here it looks just like something you'd place your new bag in after its purchase. Again, it is ideas that make the world spin.
