Two options come to mind.  The first is expensive, but good, and will 
last forever.  It's the Billingham AVEA 5 bag (or "accessory pouch").  
An M6 + 35mm, lightmeter, and a few rolls of film will fit in it.

The second option is a one of those "bum bags" -- a little oblong bag 
on a belt that you wear around your waist.  I have a cheap one from 
Everest which contains two main (zippered) compartments and a few extra 
ones.  In this, I can carry a camera + RapidWinder, two extra lenses, 
four or five rolls of film, cleaning patch, filters, meter, and the odd 
other bit.  The one I bought was cheap (I think around $10 or $15) and 
while it works well, I don't expect it to last as long as the 
Billingham.  But it's fabulous when cycling.
