Barbara E. Thank you so much for your help...I just bought a new beach cruiser and this bag will be a much needed, yet stylish addition. Also, thank you for mentioning the straps. It's difficult to tell from the photos and product description, but how...

Hi, I bought the Basil Blossom Double in Pearl-white for my white Pashley Brittania. I also installed a Wald Woody rear rack. The sides of the Basil bag that face the bicycle wheel have hard plastic plates about two inches across with slots and vel-cro strips threaded through the slots. These keep the bags from swinging away from the bicycle, but they don't stop them from sliding forward or back. Because I like to take the Basil bags off when I'm not riding to the market (I commute every day and often ride in the evening), I don't tie the top straps to the rear rack, but rest them atop the rack. Then I loop a couple of bungee balls through the straps and part of the seat and part of the rack to keep the bags from sliding forward or falling off.

I'm not really sure I got this bag for my dads bike. But i believe i saw him taking off his seat and attaching it that way ... I can ask him tomorrow when I see him he can tell more in details how he attached it. But i will email you back with the info. But so far no complaints is a really good motorcycle bag.

It would look odd... The bag is designed to straddle the bike rack... Anything between the rack and the bag would cause the arms of the bag to look more like wings.

Hi there congrats on new baby!!! My baby was born a month earlier and her we has to work on her weight due to her early birth but I put her in the cangaroo bag when she was a month and a half . I had a cheaper one but it didn't offered a solid back support but this one is perfect. I am not going to lie I have tries several and they are all kinda complicated to put on and then of but I like this one. Hope I could help :)

My bag has two straps on on each side of the bag when open. I carry my bag and purse over my shoulder to work every day. The straps are not adjustable and won't go cross body but they are long enough. I find the vertical vs horizontal design easier to carry.

There is a pretty nice handle at the top. But I'm not sure it would handle that well. Right now the bag is having multiple issues fixed at a leather shop that is quite a distance away. If you would like I could measure the strap and send you a pic once we get it back this Saturday. The guy working on it said it is a good bag overall...

There are two straps for the handle bars that wrap around and buckle and a third strap that wraps around the neck with velcro. I wish they were all velcro. I have found I prefer to strap the bag on facing me rather that facing out like a basket. It seems to balance better and not tip. It's just what I wanted and works great.

No, not at all. It's a good looking bag, get it and return it if u dot like. It's light and well builded. I looked many bags, and this one is the best by far. Check on YouTube someone did a review about the bag and brought on 2 different bags, that's also popular. I think after seeing that I knew what I needed. Good luck

Robin, I love the SFBags / waterfield sleeve. It is really very nicely made and it looks cool. I got one that was slightly too large, but they are aggressive in making sure that you are totally satisfied, and they sent another snugger-fitting sleeve right away (without me even asking). Cool company! I highly recommend them to everyone.http://www.sfbags.com/products/sleevecases/sleevecases.htm

Best bet is to fold up chain/measure it and compare to advertised size of bag. My personal preference for carrying that type of stuff is to put in larger back on rack on back of bike. I use this bag for carrying wallet, cell phone, power bars, & other such stuff -- I love the bag for this type of use, it fits great on the bike and I have a bottle rack on the crossbar below -- plenty of clearance.

It is possible but not the ideal way to carry the bag. The two outboard straps can be lengthened to weasr but the straps are narrow, belt-like, and wouldx be uncomfortable. The traditional over the top strap has two shoulder pads so I guess you could relacate the pads to the outside belts and it would work.....hope this helps. It is really a great bag. Strong sturdy, durable, looks better with wear and age and I get compliments all the time. Great purchase on my part

I haven't had a chance to use my bag yet, just ordered it a little bit ago for when I have my second child. I'm sorry you had trouble with your bag, I will be sure to look out for that with mine.

While I don't have this particular Sachi bag, I do have one. My theory is that the little tag is the Sachi equivalent to the Coach tag. I could, of course, be wrong. I left mine showing thinking that folks would see it and realize that it was a lunch bag and not a purse.

Yes it is perfect! I actually used it as a beach bag. I packed my toddler sand toys and my family's towels in this bag and it was perfect. Especially for the price!

Sorry I never replied here -- but here's a link to some photos of the strap setup (scroll down to the bottom of the discussion):http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=440646

I would bet on it. I don't have a cruiser in front of me but the seats were actually very forgiving in their design. Its honestly worth a try, if nothing else, you can send it back or gift it to pretty much anyone you know. :)

I would love to help you but they sent me the wrong item. They sent me a big, hand carry, square cargo bag instead. I was not pleased at all with that item since I really did want the paratrooper bag. I had so much trouble trying to return it I finally gave up. I wish you MUCH better luck!
