Re: yet another photo bag ...
In general I don't carry things like cameras on my person when I'm cycling - I feel there's much risk of them doing me some serious damage if I come off at speed. I'd be even more reluctant if I were crazy enough to ride a motor bike. A saddle bag or bar bag seems to me a much better option. It also makes me feel freer - the bike should do the carrying, not me. Having said that, I still haven't found the ideal bike bag for the Leica and 3 lenses, and at Eroica last year I wore my M3 slung over my shoulder for 50 miles. In fact, I did fall off my bike today, changing down to get to the top of a short, sharp little hill the chain dropped and jammed, locking the back wheel, and I slowly, inexorably collapsed, in front of several witnesses, who were at least concerned rather than merely amused.

I'm going too be in the market for a new bag soon. My fastpak 350 isn't working as well with the K-1 kit as it did with the aps kits.
