Hi-vis rucksack
What are peoples thoughts on this? I may buy one, as at the moment I am using an old school backpak thingy.
I guess it will help, as backpacks normally block hi-vis jackets. Seems quite cheap as well! |

Doesn't look bad but seems like only the MP3/CD pocket is waterproof?

You can get hi-viz covers for rucksacks from cycling shops.
Alternatively, get a hi-viz jacket with long sleeves. I got one from Stu and it's great. |

Yeah I have ordered one of those jackets from Stu.
Wonder if he's posted it yet? May wait until I get that before I buy this bag. |

Don't know how other people feel, but I'm very dubious about using any rucksack on a bike.
Worried about taking a tumble and breaking back on contents of bag. Certainly on the few occasions I have used them, haven't put anything solid in them. Having said that, a pack full of clothes might have a nice cushioning effect, provided it doesn't result in hyperextending (forced stretching backwards) too much. Either way, I reckon a high-vis backpack doesn't look as, dorky (for want of a better, less american phrase (not that there's anything wrong with Americans, except perhaps Bush)). |

to finish above post:
as a high vis jacket. To add to it Just been having a look on a medical paper search engine, can't see any reports about back injuries related to motorbikes & backpacks, but there are a few indirect ones where nerves for the arms have been damaged by the straps. My £0.02, Andy |
