That's for my musette. The 'five pounds' to which I refer is the collective 
weight of the groceries in *Patrick's* musette.

The question for my own use has made me look at my small collection of 
musette-y bags, most of which are the canvas swag bags the East Bay Bike 
Coalition <https://bikeeastbay.org> hands out on Bike to Work Day. It's 
interesting to note that the bags have gotten smaller over the years; the 
2010 bag has an expanding pleat and two straps, while the 2014 and 2015 
bags are flat, single strap things. The sponsors aren't giving out as much 
swag as they used to.

but the mayor of Kobenhavn came to City Hall to do a ride-along with our 
much flabbier, less photogenic mayor in
Berkeley, CA/USA
