I put several LEICA R-bodies and lenses in a LOWE-pro-rucksack Photo AW-Trekker
and my Leica M6 in small LOWE-pouch called Nova Mini. After several crashes with
my mountainbike I must conclude that these rucksack and also the pouch give
enough protection. No damage to my cameras what so ever.
I have no experience with LOWE's new Street and Field-system, which consists of
a waistbelt and also a vestharness and several connectable pouches. Even with
bottle bag for "biddons" wtih drinks. It looks like a good option for biking
photographers.

When you want to take more equipment with on your biking-tours take a look at
BOB-trailers: bobtrailers.com
Kind regards,
