As I said, the cam-locks didn't inspire much longer-term confidence and as a city commuter in stop-start traffic, the only thing I'd be willing to put in the mesh side-pockets would be a water bottle or some trash - think about it.

Obviously I've done everything I can to try to make the Bug work for me but I'm not happy with it and whilst I'm sure the Bug is a good product, it isn't for me, end of story.

I should mention that I've been posting about my process of getting a rack and luggage for my bike to seek advice and info from the helpful members of this forum, and to give back and provide information about my findings for the possible benefit of others choosing a luggage solution, which is generally the purpose of user forums, rather than a place for posting insults.
