Is this bag comfortable/efficient/secure for bicycling?

yes, it tends to be a bit stiff, but it's still a comfortable fit and secure.

I use this bag 5 days a week to carry all of my stuff with me to work. I travel via motorcycle about 20 miles each direction during rush hour traffic (about 1 hour each way) and I have no complaints. I wanna put it out there that slings are probably my personal preference since when I was in high school and college and I owned a normal two-strap backpack, I generally only carried it with one shoulder anyway.

Not a good choice because it only has one strap. But truly excellent for school and travel.

Probably, but I can't say you'll love this bag. It's well constructed and all, but it's a shade too wide. It tends to rub the inside of your thighs a bit. I'm 6'0", and 180 lbs. If the bag wasn't wider than the top tube it would be great. I'm going to try to live with it awhile, but I'm having severe doubts about it on a long ride. Mine is mounted on a Trek X-Caliber MTB which has a sizeable top tube, and the strap could fit a larger tube yet, so I don't think that would be an issue.

Yes, and it's quite comfortable worn that way. The biggest issue with this bag is not how it is worn, but the relatively small carrying capacity. Don't get me wrong, you can carry a tablet, an AC adapter and a few widgets, but not much more than that. Overall, I really like this bag.

it might be a little too big, i have a honda VTX 1800C with a fairing and hard bags, its a snug fit on my bike. i had ordered the XXL one first and it was too big and dragged on the ground. it is waterproof with felt like inner liner, and vent pockets by handle bars. very nice cover.

Yes . That is exactly the way I wear it and I am a small person. I do not use it for biking. I have a old small bag and decided to buy this custom new small size bag which is a little bit larger having more room which is great for traveling and walking around. I picked the colors so it took a couple extra days to get. I do love it and glad that I purchased my second bag from Timbuk2

I road bike and at times worry about it opening. I've used it for a year and has remained secure. If I was mountain biking beyond a casual ride I would make it secure with a Velcro strap to be safe. The structure is strong and functional. The capacity is enough for two road bike tubes and tools with proper compact packing. I have had two other bags both had zippers that failed within a year. This one will not. Stay safe riding.

It is fairly comfortable as is but you can definitely feel it. I have not been on a bike in years but it is bearable.I am considering a gel cover but have not really found one as yet.

Yes it's very comfortable. I'm very happy with the bag. It's the perfect every day diaper bag.

I think it's a great bag. it closes like a water proof bag, couple of folds and clip it. It's not tacky inside? Maybe rubbery

With a heavy load it might become uncomfortable, I keep about 25 lbs (Almost 11 kg) worth of stuff in mine normally, that includes the 3L camelbak (Which weights about 8 lb's full). I can wear it a long time without issue. I'd say one of the reasons I got it was because if I needed something it's mega easy to access. I've not felt need to switch shoulders like with my old messenger bag. The strap is wide and padded a bit. But your hip shares the weight, not enough to be uncomfortable or to put your back at risk of pain or unnecessary stress.

I would say no. Great bag, but not designed for long distances or heavy loads.

I do not use it for biking, just for hiking. It is very small and not heavy duty. I keep a flashlight, sunscreen, bug repellent, water, and a pencil bag with pens along with a few other things in it and it does fine. I have more room, but not a lot.

No, the padding is not that great. I remove the inner liner and wear my bib cycling shorts under the Zoics.

I didn't use it for commuting on a regular basis but used it while biking on vacation. It is very small and not really heavy duty. But if you're just carrying some light stuff, should be good.

I agree with Ivan... not super thick but very sufficient. I have found this bag, along with the straps to very comfortable. I have it pretty well loaded when I use it and will wear it for hours and I love it.

Yes. Tight, but the bag opens pretty wide. I carried my bass drum pedal easily. Good luck.Bob

Yes bag is comfortable to carry around all day. I carry micro 4/3 camera and 3 prime lenses. The shoulder strap has a padded sleeve that distributes the weight slightly. Nice bag for the price.
