Bicycling: If this wouldn't be a good one for this use, any suggestions?

I recently got the Tamrac Velocity 8X to carry my new Nikon D700 & lenses when hiking and biking (I've been biking around the NY metro. region with SLR cameras for many years; you can even see my bike in a 1973 photo of mine in my book on NY Harbor Railroads). I agree with other folks' comments on this bag: it is much better than a backpack for access (you've got to work a bit to get the camera in and out but that means its well protected too); its size is fine - smaller than a backpack or shoulder bag, yet it does carry the stuff. BUT: as the reviewers say, the padding on the strap could be much better, and also extend further along the strap. You must put the padded part of the strap over your LEFT shoulder and the bag on your back, when cycling; for a while I had it over my right shoulder (since that's where I naturally tend to swing it on) but then it was very painful because that part of the strap is not padded (if this is confusing, look at the video on Tamrac's website - thats how I figured it out). But if you get it right, and use the waist strap, its a better bag for biking with a big DSLR than any other I've seen. If only the padding were more effective, it would be even better.

I agree with the first two respondees. This is a good cover but don't think for that purpose. Also not sure what a transverse "sail" would do to your gas consumption.Not an expert on bikes but think they are designed to withstand the rain for short periods of time. However, a certain part of my body appreciate a dry saddle and I think this can easily be achieved with a tied on gallon plastic bag. Happy cycling.

If all you need is the watch for keeping track of your heart rate, then it would work well. Although, I'm almost positive the foot pod accessory wouldn't be able to keep track of your distance like it can for running. That's an easy remedy as you could buy an odometer/speedometer for the bike to keep track of your distance and speed if that's important to you.

Nope, save your money and buy a good stationary bike. I wish I had. This thing just sits under one of my end tables because I spend more time moving it back into place than actually pedaling it.

It will adjust from ' free wheeling' to a fair amount of resistance, -I'd say enough for your purpose. My other half uses it after knee replacement, and she is satisfied with it. I'm not sure it would hold up to a cycler's training regimen.

This is a poorly designed piece of equipment. Perhaps a more costly unit would be better. If I did it again, I would buy from a bike shop where I could try it out first. Hated it.

I am not sure. I use my bike to get a good workout and good sweat. You might have to look into seperate apps for that.

I think the answers by others are good, but I say no. Go to a good sporting goods like Dick's or [my favorite] Academy Sports and try out theirs. I like my bike but if I was starting all over I think I might go for an eliptical machine.

My suggest,it might be a little too small for you.however,it depend on your bike type or you better try it.

I wouldn't advise standing and pedalling. Although the bike is built sturdy, it might not support your weight (considering that you are an adult) during the long use. There is a reason why it is built with a seat.

You should be okay! You can adjust your seat to the lowest position and still be able to cycle to the fullest.

There is a small hole in the front forks that could be used to help mount a basket. But it really isn't ideal on this type of balance bike.

There is a different device offered for $199 which is a large wheel. It attaches to one side of the rear wheel of your bike. It turns it into a tricycle of sorts. I think this would suit your needs better. Check for handicapped bike attachments. This wheel will be morecle,

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.

Probably not, just OK for bicycle riding, I don't think it would satisfy you for motorcycle use.

i would say 'yes' because the seat can be brought down quite low. The handlebars could be a little high, but pedaling shouldn't be a problem.

Im not sure. I think there may be enough adjustability. I would give cycle op a call their customer service is great.
