Commuter bags in the marketplace

this is a video i found of a company that made a bag that attaches to a bike....pretty coooool

the other stuff i found are pretty typical. A lot of people are calling their bags "commuter bags" and a lot of companies make these bags. Basically what makes it a commuter bag is that it has outside pockets for easy access, either a messenger bag or backpack, and most of them are for storing laptops too. A few of the bags attach to bicycles or motorcycles, like the one in the video and I actually found one that was like a little trolley thing you attached to the back of your bike and it trailed behind you as you rode it.

I talked to my dad about the project and he thought it was a great idea that you guys came up for that universal plug thingy where you only had to plug one thing in and it would charge everyhing in your bag. My dad uses a computer bag everyday for work and he recently had to get a new one and doesn't like the one he has (he got a backpack style one). He said that it doesn't hold documents as well as his old messenger bag one. (He says their isn't really a good pocket in the backpack for documents and when he puts papers and folders in it they get bent at the edges and stuff like that).

So that's what I got so far!
