but I've also had a Carradice saddlebag on my bike for the past year or so
I really want to love saddlebags. I love the concept, I've owned many, and
every few years I try again. I even invented a mount that involved a loop
secured with a Seat Sandwich, after bad luck with the SQR.
But for me, saddlebags don't work well.

eliminate sway and having the bag rub against the back of one's thighs.
