This is brilliant, thank you for the idea! I just tried it with my T-bag, a longer shoulder strap I had laying around and a velcro strap and it feels pretty comfortable. We're getting ready for an international bike trip and I've been trying to figure out how to juggle all of our bags, especially at the airport and hotels. This trick will definitely help.
