I have done that before, and its fine for the random short trip. but not too comfortable in my experience. either the strap puts pressure on me, or the axles stab me.
its like carrying a backpack full of junk instead of tossing it in the panniers and forgetting about it.
I wind up hauling a significant around of wheels around, running 2 bike co-ops, and being a car-free student (Ok, the GF has a car, but thats cheating and lame) too broke to buy a Xtracycle. . . by the time I have that kind of cash, they will come probably come stock with S&M couplers at wallyworld- anyways I am taking a class in welding, so I will be frying up some experiments over the winter, but I digress.
IMO, make the bike carry the load, my legs are happy to pedal faster to go slower.
