Since I'm on a motorbike most of the time I use a backpack, which in and of itself has proved useful!
Inside I've got ...
Work ID
Old leather purse I bought second hand about 15 years ago
Antihistamines
Ibuprofen
Mini hairbrush
Mini nailclippers
A reliable pen
Hand sanisizer
House keys
1 individually wrapped maxi-pad (useful for various emergencies aside from the obvious)
1 pair of disposable earplugs (for when riding the motorbike)
And the most recent addition is reading glasses :-(
It's funny, here in Spain there's lots of women who use motorbikes and scooters as their main transportation so I've never thought of it as impressive!
I've had motorbikes since I was little, I was fascinated by them much to my mothers disappointment.
