Bagaboo workhorse is an excellent bag. I used a decidedly second hand one for currying (couriering) in London for two years carrying way more than perhaps was intended (up to fifteen lever arch files fully loaded and all my tools lunch rain gear etc) with no problems to my back. Never let a drop of rain in even in torrential rain, never had any problems in any respect. In fact I still use it for moving lots of stuff by bike. Compared to my Mission workshop rucksack (which I thought was pretty shitty) the workhorse was indefatigable.
HOWEVER.
Its a WORKHORSE, it really is a working bag, not the most beautiful bag on the market and not great off the bike. Its really made so you can sling it round infront of you without taking it off and has straps and adjustments all over which if your only planning on light use might be unnecessary.
If your going to be walking around a lot with the bag get an Ortlieb. Germans don't fuck around and having two straps means if you don't need to go in the bag whilst on your bike all the time your just going to be more comfortable.
