A briefcase is configured as a saddle bag having two soft-sided pouches joined together by a central bridge portion. The pouches are shaped to fit within the space enclosed by the front post, the bottom brace, and the horizontal cross bar of a bicycle frame. Fastening straps are provided for fastening the rear edge of the briefcase to the seat post and the front edge to the bottom brace. An adjustable carrying strap is secured to the central bridge portion of the briefcase to allow it to be used as a hand or shoulder bag. Removable stiffening rods extend along either side of the bridge portion to prevent the pouches from sagging when the bag is lifted by the carrying strap.
