Anyone use Kriega rucksacks for cycling?

[wilbo83]

As per title really. Anyone use a R15 / R20 / R25 for cycling? Would be interested in any thoughts. Considering buying one to use when on my motorbike and wondering if I could also use it as a day pack on the trails. They look to offer a separate hydration pack.

I had an R25 for biking... I'd say it was far to big and bulky for cycling with.

I have an r35 which is great for motorcycling. You may want something a bit more flouncy for your pushbike.

Don't see why it wouldn't work, just be aware the kriega harness is designed to put the weight on your chest rather team through your shoulders, this is fine on a motorbike but on a bicycle when you're breathing hard I wouldn't want the extra pressure on your chest.

They're pretty heavyweight too, not built with lightness in mind.

I've got an R30 which has done 45k+ miles, brilliant rucksack but not best suited for cycling, far too heavy.
