cycling and packing the camera...help

[wyogirl]

Do any of you cycle? What bag do you pack your gear in? Do you secure it to the bike or do you wear a backpack?? How does this work for other people??
FYI: I have a Cruiser bike and plan on only riding on roads and paved paths if that makes a difference in your answer.

There are many options for carrying stuffs on bicycles if you are not planning to wear the camera bag on yourself. Camera gears aren't that heavy( I hope), so a rear rack that comes with a mounted bag should do the job.

If you are worried about vibrations and camera protection, you can get these to go into your bike cargo spaces.

When im on the Motorbike i just use the classic style camera backpack, works fine. although i dont have to peddle obviously but im sure it would still be fine if you werent carrying to much

I've always had a rear rack on my bike and recently installed a Topeak rear rack and MTX Trunkbag EXP on a new bike. The bag slides into and locks on the rack. It has a top handle and an attachable carry strap. The bag's side panels unzip to full panniers. I liked the idea of biking to the grocery store and although I haven't yet, it certain looks like a whole chicken, side vegetables and a six pack are quite do-able.

Thanks for that link. They have an interesting design, may have to get the cuff and try it out.
