Do you wear a backpack when riding?

Kreiga makes the backpacks for Triumph. Might be easier to go try one on as opposed to going mail order.

Riding my bike with one or two bottles of wine on my back doesn't strike me as a brilliant idea.

 Rob , did someone suggest that is a good idea ?

Jesus,

The question was "Do your wear a backpack when riding?"

I gave my personal answer, nothing to do with anyone else, but lots to do with what I buy when I go shopping.

It was a joke, about myself.

Have a great 2016.

 Ahh , well OK then , although since we didn't know that, the shorthand was a bit confusing . Must be an NYC thing

I never ride with a backpack on. I have an old pack permanently strapped on to the pack rack, and any purchases go in there.

Don't like the thought of one on  my back. I guess that's stupid because I ride a mountain bike with a hydration pack on my back.

Kriega from Aerostich.  Smallish model and wear it tight so it doesnt move around.

Not anymore ! 

Had been using an "Overboard" brand backpack, that is basically a dry bag with shoulder straps, for trips on my V11 lemans that had no luggage options. Recently installed a tail rack Harpers had advertised, so now the pack will be rok-strapped to that rather than on my back --  I found wearing a backpack to be OK, but it was too hot in the summer, and made my shoulders sore on long trips.

I use an Amphibious Dry Equipment motorcycle backpack (shop4bikers.co.uk).  Nice features: totally waterproof /water tight roll-up closure, high visibility lime-yellow color, outside/watertight zipper pocket and two mesh pockets, nice carrying handle, nicely padded shoulder straps, waist strap, and chest strap, plus all straps are totally removable and the pack has six D-rings so it can be strapped to the passenger seat or bike rack if you don't care to ride with a backpack.  All around a well made, we'll designed great piece of kit!
