What is in a bike messenger's hip pouch? | May 2020

This is a kind of "part 2" to my last video, where I emptied out my tool bag:
• What does a bike messe...
Here, I show what I carry in my hip pouch and talk a little about why it's even there. It is not JUST a messlife fashion accessory. It is that, of course! But not exclusively.
If you would like to see more of these kinds of videos where I show a little more of the equipment and gear, please let me know, and I will gladly do that. I'll probably do it anyway ;)
See you out there!

That’s a cool studio space. Lounge, office, gym, bedroom. Can we have a tour?

[@junglejulia2810]

Office clips, spoke cards, scraps of tobacco. Holy trinity always falling out of my hip bag

[@hellbeeonwheels6800]

you should take a look at fidlock slider buckles, that combine buckle security et magnet convenience

Nice hip pouch....shame they are not made anymore....😐what you using now? 🙂🤘🏻

[@lokiloke3534]

Hey, thanks for asking. I wore this thing throughout my whole bike messenger "career" 😁 I still have it but I have stopped working the streets so to speak. I probably should have gifted it to a promising messenger from the next generation 😊

This video reminded me why I stopped using a hip pouch: its only use is to keep useless crap with you. Seriously: tags are useless since everything is done electronically nowadays, a lighter is useless 99% of the time, change is useless if you have a debit/credit card or battery on your phone, tripod: useless since you never use it, business cards: useless (just take a picture of it, you'll save paper and time), rubber bands are basically trash, maintenance kit (multitool, spare inner tube, chain link, etc.) are WAY more convenient in a small saddle (why would you want to feel their weight when you can just transfer it to the bike itself, especially if you don't use it more than one time a month?), a map... no comment on that haha. Having an empty pouch at your disposal only asks for you to fill it with useless stuff and weight. When you know that on a bike, weight and aero are the two key factors for endurance, it makes sense to get rid of as much crap as possible. :)

You are of course largely right! But I have used it regularly to carry the actual fare in case of small items like glasses, keys, tiny envelopes and whatnot. Noone wants to take off the whole backpack for a small item. Butyah, I do see your point 😅

Short answer, gummy bears

[@akuaku3496]

Its a fanny pack

[@lokiloke3534]

You're a fanny pack 😘
