No DSLRs

I like to carry a camera with me everywhere no matter the activity.  Recently, I've been getting a bunch of emails asking me how I carry my equipment while riding my bicycle?    I wish there was a simple answer.    Or should I say a consistent answer.   For me, how I carry my camera depends on what camera I bring with me, what bike I am riding and how long will I be riding  

Which camera is pretty simple to understand.  It's about the size of the camera.   Which bike will tell me what other gear I will need to carry with me or on me?   How long tells me how careful I need to be about weight.  

So...I will start with my most common set up.    My Lowepro Off Trail 1.  

I have no affiliation with any camera maker or gear supplier.   This is a bag I bought with my own hard earned cash (About $50)   Why did I buy this one?  

- It's light.  That's important to me as I will often carry this pack with me on rides of 50-100 miles.

- It fits my gear.   My GF1 with either the 14-45 or the 45-200 fit perfectly in the center pouchs.  I then carry the extra lens in one of the padded lens holders and my phone, a lens cleaner, ultra light weight dry bag and a circular polarizer in the other.   

- If I dont' want to carry all that stuff, I can remove one or both of the lens holders.   Sweet.  

So far I've got about 8-900 miles in with this bag set up.  I've been very please with it.  I've used it on a few hikes as well.

NOTES:   I don't carry a flash unit with me as I don't use flash in the type of photography I prefer.   If a flash matters, you will need to look at a larger bag.  Their are other sizes of the Off Trail series and a very similar and larger spec'd Outback series of waist packs for larger cameras and more stuff.   Lastly, If you buy one of these, remember that this is not a waterproof bag.  That is why I carry the dry sac/bag.
