The 7Mill is long and tall enough to stay put on your lower back, but would need a waist belt to keep it from flopping about on a bicycle. That would be very easy to do: a pair of carabiners in the outside accessory pouch loops make an excellent anchor point for a waist belt with a quick release buckle. (My Timbuk2 Commute XL has the anchors for such a belt built in and comes with a belt like that: it works beautifully and it what I use for the bicycle when I need my computer and don't want to use the car. I've got a few carabiners in a box here for such occasional use with other gear.) >> The 7Mill is deep enough that I configured it to hold the lenses in >> individual compartments on the bottom, underneath where I normally >> rest the camera with one lens fitted for carrying. > > One question: it seems that there is some protective stuff between > the lenses and the camera, is that part of the bag itself, or did > you just add some separator padding there ? The bag comes with two velcro compartment cover flaps that I position for this use. I took them out when I photographed the compartments so as to make the configuration I chose more visible. There are also two more compartment dividers with flexible ears that I'm not using yet, and of course I have a big box full of miscellaneously shaped other dividers from a bunch of other bags that can be used as needed.
