(Mods, I've no idea where to post this)

I need a bag that's good for;

1, cycling
2, running
3, everyday use

That can house;

1, a DSLP + lens
2, a 13" MacBook Pro
3, a short weekends worth of t-shirts and shorts

And it has to be a reasonable price (I've found a few for £180 but that's far too much for me right now)

Any ideas? Thanks in advance,

LordGrover

You need to tweak your criteria a bit. Anything that will take the Mac and/or a weekend's worth of t-shirts and such, will be too big for running.

So if it was me, I'd be getting a lightweight running pack and a 25-30ltr pack for everything else.

Some suggestions:

Osprey Nebula
Osprey Quasar
Maxpedition Falcon II (preferably in one of the bright non-tactical colours)

Take a look at Deuter, not sure which one you will need but they have plenty of choice:

Timbukt2 Messenger. My medium one has about 7 years of daily use and still looks mint.

You may mock, but I've been using a CEX carrier bag (they're the string tie shoulder pack type) these last few weeks.

Thanks for all the suggestions thus far but I'm not sure I've yet found the 'backpack of my dreams', so keep them coming!

(although I think my main issue is I just need to spend more money, which I just don't have right now)

I use one of these and it fits my Surface Pro, Gear VR and lots of chargers and other bits and pieces in easily. There is a larger 36L size as well.

I have a Lowepro Sport 100. I think it ticks your boxes. Only question would be whether a 13" MBP fits. I know a 13" MBA fits in there.
