It doesn't appear to be something you can easily grab and carry with you, like most of the bags I use here, because of low life thieves and criminal opportunists. That would be a major concern for me. Whatever portion of the bag or carrier I leave on the bike needs to have some element of time consuming attachment to the bar or bicycle. Otherwise I'm going to be balancing whatever I bought on my handlebar again.
But I guess I could never use a bike that shiny for shopping anyway. * sigh*
Yeah, there is no provision for security with this, though a thief seeing one for the first time probably wouldn’t immediately understand just how quick and easy it is to remove. Fortunately, I don’t seem to have to worry about that kind of thing the places I go. But yeah, for high-risk areas I’d probably choose a different rack solution.
