Bicycke bag
what are some good bicycle backpacks? I saw a bag at wal-mart that had a water sack thing on the bag....
I do carry a gun.... but i always liked the backpacks for motorcycles https://images.google.com/imgres?imgu...D4uutgfDjZTdDw

In the right lane
Do a google search on "pannier", which is the bag that attaches to a bicycle rack.
Many cyclists also travel with a backpack or daypack on their back. You might also search Bikeforums for either panniers or backpack.

You come asking about backpacks in the land of the pannier pimps?
While there aren't that many backpacks designed specifically for cycling, those that are tend to be expen$ive. I have the larger of these. I got it because at the time I needed something waterproof for my school books. Since I'm now doing primarily online courses, I am shopping for either a rack trunk or panniers.
Anyway, as to the OP, what features are you looking for:
-water-proof?
-hydration bladder compatible?
-how big do you need it to be?
-how much you willing to spend?

What does a firearm have to do with a backpack? Or with bicycling, for that matter?

I keep getting the idea of mounting a fake(or real
) turret on the handle bars of one of my bikes.
As far as backpacks though I like to use hiking backpacks when I need to carry stuff on a bike that doesn't have a rack and trunk bag/panniers. Lots of separate storage compartments so you don't have to just toss everything together.
