Since I don't have to lock my bike up outside it's not an issue very often, but if you're going to have to lock your bike up outside every day then don't get a strap on. You'll get tired of strapping on/off the bag twice a day.
Good point. I thought about the strap issue too since I have to remove the bag every morning when I arrive to work and put it back on when I leave.
How long would you say it takes to fasten the bag and take it off with velcro straps? Clip starps would be a bit faster I think, but would they be as sturdy (clips only used on the Lezyne bags)?
