Chrome’s InterBike booth was very creative, featuring two stories, giving out free tattoos, and a live messenger bag assembly show. Chrome spoke with us about their most popular messenger bag, the Citizen.

The Chrome Citizen messenger bag comes in three sizes–small, medium and large–where we preferred the medium sized bag (for the riding we partake in).
