Would the strap handle constant movement??? I travel on a bicycle and was wondering if I can ride with this strapped on my back?

I walked around a lot with it, and the strap held just fine. Seems pretty sturdy.

The strap is pretty strong. It should work out fine with constant movement.

I think you would find it comfortable and maybe your strap a tad thin for this device, which in my view is made for those 1-inch or more. Not that it would not work, it would, it would just look odd. By the way, for heavy cross-body items I finally went with a postal type strap. This is fine, though, for lighter stuff. I know, mixed messages but best I can do with what I have.

You can secure it as tight as possible with the strap. I'm sure it may move a little but that may also depend on what's in it. I can secure a notebook and iPad in it and run a 400m without it moving at All. (maybe even longer)?

I weigh in at about 260 Lb. and I use the strap all the time with no problem

Yes I think so but I have not used it that way yet. I just went to my bike to see if I could strap it to the handlebars and I was able to. So I think it would work. It is really comfortable to wear on my arm and that is how I use it to date, but I too would like to be able to see the map while biking to avoid a wrong turn. An 8 mile route turned into 15 miles because I couldn't see it.

No - it is amazingly secure with no movement once tightened. I use it everyday with no issues.

I'm 200lbs and the straps are currently set to the smallest it can be, so i would say yeah i dont see it being a problem for the shoulders. The waist strap may not though.

Ummm well, how to describe.... Just secure it to the base, or anything that you can hook it to. The "leg"of the seat. It may end up restricting moving seat forward or back if you need to. But most time I personally don't move my seats much. If you do move it, then you can adjust straps again. Hope this helps?

Yes, but I did not find it comfortable around the back strap. So, I went to a rubber grip, which I find more comfortable in my hand.

Yes. I don't commute on a bike either and the bag is very comfortable to wear while walking or standing. Assuming that you wear it with the strap across your chest, and not hanging off your shoulder. The strap is very easy to adjust even while you wear it, it's one of the very nice features of all Timbuk2 bags. If you find that the bag is not sitting on your lower back or hip correctly, you can just adjust on the go.

The elasric strap holds it pretty secure. I've had no issues with it shifting even when I carry it in my messenger bag.When you close the case, there is some give because of the rotating feature. Just make sure it actually turned off.

I ride with mine and it is very comfortable. I do sometimes not fasten the chest strap because it can "ride" up and get a little irritating. Hope this helps.

Hi Dave. I think it would work well for bike commuting. Using the side straps and buckles you can make it very compacted. If you use the waist buckle it will hold it to your back.

It is stretchy and you can expand it.... so maybe... but why don't you just use one of the adhesive backed clips and just stick it to the front of your helmet... the strap could move but the sticky tape wont.

Yes, most definitely. It's well made. I have used it when biking and walking. The straps provide more than enough padding for the shoulders so I haven't suffered from neck/shoulder pain whenever I have my Macbook Air, charger & more in it.

Definitely not! The strap is made specifically to work within a doorframe. The door must be closed so the doorframe secures the strap over the door without the strap slipping when you put your body weight on it.

Given it assymetrically sits at your kidney level, I can't see it being comfortable running. Even walking a kilometer or 2, I am constantly pushing it back off my hip. Now I don't use the smaller cross strap, which might help but it won't eliminate this behavior.
