How to attach an ordinary backpack to your rear seat.
I didn't want to spend a bunch of money on a new bag when I have a ton sitting around the house so I decided to make this work. Cross the straps on any backpack, insert the seat like shown, push it onto your bike til you hear the click then secure it with a bungee cord like shown. I have been doing this for a few months and it works fine. I have been carrying a laptop and books without issues on the highway, city, bumpy roads, etc.uploadfromtaptalk1353204367016.jpguploadfromtaptalk1353204824235.jpg

Tried it this morning, couldn't get it to close... Probably requires a bit of practice.
It does. Double check the straps and make sure they don't slide across the attachment points as you try to snap the seat on. Also make sure the straps are not too thick. With a normal pack, you will have to push the seat down firmly to get it to snap. Hold the straps taught at the leading edge of the seat, get the hooks in the right places, and rotate firmly down, taking care to not let the straps cover the rubber cushions. Cover just 1 hook or cushion and it won't snap. Try again.

I enjoy inexpensive, versatile, and convenient ways to carry stuff.
Perhaps the knapsack would be easier to attach if the padding was
taken out of the straps. This removal requires a sewing machine, and
probably somebody to use it, but the operation itself is not complex.
