I have a large Ortleib backpack (1800 cubic inches) that I ride with every day loaded with stuff I need.
The bag is very comfortable on my back, but I've discovered that wearing this bag may be contributing towards pain and numbness in the Perineum area.
I'd like to try riding without weight on my back. Rather than getting a set of panniers (which would be 2 smaller bags, and less convenient to walk around with when I'm off the bike), I'd like to find a way to mount my Ortleib backpack on the bicycle itself. I've thought about trying to mount it on a rear rack, however that would probably create an unbalanced riding situation to have 20-25 pounds only on one side of the rack. I would appreciate some advice on how to make this work (is possible).
