Does the size and weight of the bag impact balance or steering while riding?

I've been riding with this for almost a year on a mountain bike. I have not noticed any impact on balance or steering while riding. Note that i am riding a fairly heavy steel-frame mountain bike on mostly rough terrain, with a lot of street in between. Riding without hands has not been affected at all.

Hi Julie...the size and weight should not impact balance or steering while riding. Here's part of a review we received: "I'd rate these speakers 4+ of 5...unit is lightweight so no burden on the handlebars." As with all handlebar bags, it is important to mount it properly, to ensure it doesn't move while riding. Best regards, Sherri Besser, VP Ops

There is a small shock cord at the bottom that can be wrapped around the bike frame. Also, they would not flop much since the side against the bike frame is the thick outside part of the bag...just unfolded. This gives the panniers some stiffness.

Bag is durable. However you can't push it forward easily if you have mobility stabity problems. I end up dragging it behind me. Like the seat though. Don't know the dimensions of the bag -- sorry.

Mine does, comfortably...... Unless you have an over-lenght shaft. then it might be close. Really like this travel bag... Exceptiona!!! better that the hard bag that I had that the latches and wheels broke after 3 uses... Hit em straight...

Yes, the bag definitely causes a problem for the passenger's foot position. My passenger complained about the bag making in hard to get a good footing on the peg. One solution is to get the foot peg extension kit but even with this it doesn't completely solve the problem. On a long ride I just take the bag off for the passenger's comfort.

It will but it's still ok to ride as passenger. The more you stuff in the bag the harder it gets to have a comfy position for the left foot that needs to reach over and around the bag.

It depends on how much you put in the front zipped compartment. Without a laptop in the bag, mine falls over forward, with a laptop, mine stays upright.

I would not put a large bag on here. My carry bag still has issues of tipping at times. The four wheel cart is better.

I have had this bag for over a year and have taken it on several trips. I have never had it tip forward. It is very well made and I am completely satisfied with it.

The rack(or bag) is not going to come off, no way... but yes, if you ride hard enough, with enough weight in it, the bag might shift a little. It's a good setup, and designed well. functional... Any movement would come from basic seat post design limitations. this is a good unit. with no problems. The quick-disconnect is super.

Yes. I am VERY rough on my bag and it keeps going. I have had a problem with the telescoping handle but no problems with the wheels. I bounce the bag over curbs, grates in the sidewalk, and just about anything imaginable. Keeps going without any issues.

Not for sure on that, but my Harley half helmet barely goes in. And I have to jamb it in. Then it takes up a lot of space. But I packed for a week for Sturgis with my helmet in the bag.

no, the bag is built / salnted for the left side of your bike. if you use it in the right side it will reverse the slant and not look correct on the bike.

Not really. It depends for how far the commute is. Anything over a few miles in traffic could be a challenge. The folding mechanism for the handle bars is a bit wobbly even after being locked in place. The smaller diameter wheels along with the handle bar wobble makes the steering a bit unstable. I use the bike for camping trips and the occasional ride around town, which I find sufficient for the price I paid.

I have two that ride in it. I have found that it's not the easiest to steer. It's a very sturdy stroller. On the pavement, I have to use a lot of arm muscle with the two 30 pound dogs. I use it occasionally. It's not something I like using everyday but I don't regret buying it. I haven't found it to tip over either.

actually, neither unfortunately. I guess that would be the only downfall of this bag, but to me all the other stuff out weighs that. (plus I don't leave my bag unattended and if it's on me, my arm is always blocking someone from getting into it without me feeling anything).good concern though!

No. It's the one "annoying" thing about the backpack. The positives vastly outweigh this, though. Sometimes on my bicycle or motorcycle, the straps slap me, but it's really a minor issue. Mine has more than paid for itself over the years!
