Anyways, the tentative plan is to wear both at the same time, since I already wear the Inov-8 low, on my hips, and the bag should be cinched up tight if I'm wearing it. Of course, if I can strap it to the frame in some reasonable fashion, i'll be doing that. I do want to have quick access to it for snack breaks or water breaks, and for that, my back might be the best place.
Yea,on my mtn bike or backpacking I like to wear both and sort of use the fanny pack to support the backpack a little at times . And on a tour if the backpack isn't on your back its definitely convenient to have ready access to.And now that I think about it that fanny pack with the water bottle actually doubled as a handlebar bag.So on the bike I had it attached to the handlebars then grabbed it for off the bike.Kind of a neat idea but I like having valuables like money,credit cards, keys etc. on me at all times so even on the handlebar it was not ideal for me.
