Depends on the bike that you have. The rear rack has to be long enough that you can position them further away. They might not suit your bike then.

Hi Sharon.They are not long enough, you need to use the shoulder strap but I can tell you it's a great bag!!! I work in the accessories enviroment and I bought at least 10 of these bags for friends and sisters and I have 2 of them: it's the most convenient bag I found around for this price, believe me. I'm italian and I bought them in us and I asked later to my US colleagues to buy them on Amazon because they are not available in Europe; I tell you this to show how much I find it convenient. The Tote (I already have it) is more banal

That puzzeled me as well. The picture here shows it facing the other way. When I received it I put it on the way it had to go, used it and then began to wonder why it was "backward". Took it apart but realized there is only one way it goes. My issue is that the balance seems off, bag tips over too easily if it shifts while I play. J

Yes it will restrict the rear footpeg a little. The way I have the bag fitted means it sits right on the peg and while you could still use it, much of the peg is covered. So I guess it's possible to use but made a bit more difficult. You could fit the bag a little higher by pulling the straps tighter and that would give you more room. I only have the single seat on so it's not an issue but the bag means I have my wet weather gear with me all the time.Hope this is of some help. It is a great bag but I guess it's a game of trade offs.Good luck.Mike

I have the same problem. I am an "hourglass" shaped woman, 147 lbs, and my butt and legs spill over the edges of the Backjoy posture relief, which doesn't allow me to use it properly. Did you find something that does work for you? I like the concept and think it could help... at a larger size!

Thank you! many times... I will seek out the Ziploc pump + bags at your (and others)solid recomendations. It is gratifying to know I am deffinately not the only "leaky" bag person.

Last night I struggled with this exact same issue when I opened a new bag. I never got it to zip back up. So if anyone has a tip please tell us.

I never had problems with the wheels. I traveled every week with this bag for about 2 years, and the wheels never became sticky or dragged. I wheeled it for miles through major cities, and the wheels even stayed quiet. I have had bags with wheels that became very noisy. I like that it was the perfect sized bag to hold everything I needed (except my new computer that is too wide at 14" - I think the previous laptop was 12"), and it fit in small overhead bins on region jets. The only complaint I would have about this bag is the single handle design. I could not place another bag or even a purse on top or it would fall to the side and drag.

Someone else gave the correct bag size. I know the recommended bags are the wrong size. I got them also. I notified Amazon and apparently they are still recommending the wrong size bags.

I have not used them in that way, but I can say they are the heaviest bags I have yet found, really good quality! Hope this helps!

I only used mine with flats. I don't know about heels. I think there is a special pair for boots. Good Luck.

Not at all. I had the same concern but my it isn'tand mmy daughter also takes it to school to play with during before and after school. Only reason why I mention that is because she can't stand when her bag is too heavy. Hope this helps. Enjoy!

While I feel the bag is well made and could support five pounds the danger is that the string handles would pull through the holes that they go through. The strings have plastic ends on them like shoe string caps. If you were to take the time and tie a large knot on each string that wouldn't pull through the bag then I feel you would be fine. These are very nice bags, well made with a insert for the bottom of the bag so that it sits flat,

I wish I had asked that question before purchasing. No, they are not -- lucky for me I wear mostly flats. But it's not suitable for heels.

I have had my tote since last October and although I don't haul mine around every day, I don't believe you would pack yours as heavy as I usually have mine and I have had no problem with mine at all. It seems to be made very well and if I decide to purchase another one, I will definitely go with another one of these! Plus, go to the company's website and look for information on their return/replace policies - I'd be willing to bet that they have everything covered as all of the crafting items that we cart around with us are quite heavy! I even stack other binders on top of this one and put the straps over the handle so I don't have to carry those either! I don't think you would be disappointed!!

You would probably need to reinforce the stitching of the straps. My straps ripped at the seams, but I reinforced them and all is good now. The bag is really cute, but not very well made.
