Bikes: 2006 Lemond Tourmalet; 198(?) Gardin mid-fixie conversion

FWIW, Kingston road westbound is just as bad I rode both east and west between vic park and brimley today, and the right hand lane is full of potholes/filler. The little descent at the Danforth split is fun though.. but I had some trouble with my bag. I use a cheap shoulder bag with stabilizing strap, and it tends to start drifting off my back when I start spinning/bouncing.. any tips on keeping a bag stable when spinning out down a hill?
