I'll also recommend Osprey. They make cycling and multi sport backpacks in a range of sizes, and the fit and security is excellent when riding. I have a Talon 11, which in the S/M size is more like 9L. That’s quite small, but I bought this backpack to be compact enough that I could wear it to combine training rides with commuting. My larger capacity backpack is a Timbuk2 Swig at about 22L, but I like my Osprey so much that I would consider replacing that with a Syncro 20 or Talon 22 for when I need to carry a laptop or other bulkier items.
