What’s in my bag
Image by Cian Ginty
Not pictured are: my gloves which are in the bag if not on my hands or my coat’s pockets, tissues which I genially keep just in case even if when I don’t have a cold, and the camera which is being used to take this.
The NoonSolar Handbag

Artefact no.: 2011.0004
Manufacturer: NoonSolar
Chicago, IL, USA
Date: 2010
Source: Purchased
The NoonSolar handbag features built-in solar technology used to power devises such as iPods or cell phones. Designed for a person that walks to work or spends time outside, the bag is carried over a shoulder with the solar panel exposed to allow the solar cell to charge a battery.
The panel is based on organic solar cell technology developed at the National Research Council (NRC) in Ottawa. The organic cells are printed on thin films using the same printing technology as Polaroid film.
In the early 2000s, the NRC was approached by Konarka, a US company that wanted to produce solar cells based on NRC’s technology. The thin, flexible solar cells were further developed and tested for Konarka who prints the solar cells. Other manufacturers incorporate the cells in a variety of products such as laptop bags, handbags, backpacks, umbrellas, clothing including military applications.

That is an awful lot of Junk to be carrying on Casual Jaunts around the Town. Riddle when is important good stuff Junk,answer when you do not use most of it and you end up carrying a Dead Weight around with you.
I have a Dynamo on two of my Bikes so no fiddling with Lamps. I have one of those Sigg Water Bottles in Black,I hate the Taste of the Water in those Plastic Bottles especially when the Weather is hot it tastes Horrible.
You left out the Pull Up Trousers for the Wet Weather,I will have to get those as my Legs keeps getting Drenched.Whatever you do Keep on Cycling.
Most of the weight is in the water bottle, and the two notebooks — all of which I use daily, or at least almost daily. And all of the smaller stuff fits in my bag’s many pockets with room to spare. Having extra batteries and pens, and the spare camera, all comes in handy regularly.
I agree with you on the taste of water in plastic bottles.
I don’t carry rain gear regularly, I’ll only bring it with me on wet days (like today) or when I think it’ll rain later in the day. Since getting my new bike in November, I somehow didn’t get mudguards at the time (I’m getting them soon), but I’ve been commuting a lot on it since and have only gotten drenched once! Although I was sick or otherwise off on some notably wet days.
I looked at some of your other Pictures and I understand why you take this stuff with you .You said you are a Freelance Journalist.
I used to have Pull ups,the Heavy Kind that I used in Work and a Thin Pair for the Bike but these wore out Years ago. I have been Drenched a few times with no change of Trousers until Nightfall so these are handy for me. Although I am betwween Jobs at moment but still need them for Bike.
Plastic Bottles are always Dicy because of the possibly of Chemicals Leaking out when Bottle gets Old so I prefer Metal. Mine got Dinged when it fell off the back Rack on the cycle Path at Fairview Park when it went over a Hump in the ground but it is still fine. I usually take a Spanner set it is a Folding Kit with Phillips and Hex and Allan Keys, A Puncture KIt, Metal Tyre Levers, Zefal Pump the conventional Old style with 5 inch Tube to stick in Tyre Valve, Battered Old Olympus Digital Camera and Notebook and Pen, Gloves for Cold Weather.
