Thanks for that tip. I have one of the DX bags and that's a good thing to keep in mind. I was using a mini u-lock for a while and that fit completely within the zipped up side compartment. I've upgraded to an Abus combo chain lock however and am finding it very versatile, though a bit heavier than even a good u-lock.
I did buy one of the Topeak racks mentioned above for my tandem and like it enough that I am considering upgrading one of my other bikes to it. That second, lower set of rails really appeals to me, as most racks don't allow a separate trunk and panniers to be used together.
