Rarely. It's kind of bulky to throw in my backback, especially when I
start getting large envelopes and packages in there. I need a good
compact camera for that purpose.
Now that I'm walking, it's around my neck all the time, though.
The camera doesn't need to be in the back-pack. You can't take photos
while it's in there.
Something like this might let you have the camera around your neck while
you're on your bike.

The first one is basically a waist strap that has a couple of big
elastic bands that make an X around where the lens mounts to the body
and holds it against you. Just slip the bands off to use the camera.
The second is a neoprene donut with a hole the lens slips into.
They're something like what Galen Rowell used to use when he was
photographing climbers. He climbed with them to get the angle he wanted
and needed to keep the camera from swinging when he wasn't using it. But
when he needed to get the camera free he didn't need a whole lot of
fumbling around.
I think these would both work one-handed.
