I would prefer that these smaller bags have wheels and retractable handles for travel ease. I've decided to adapt this for an emergency bag kept in the car with first aid supplies, flashlight, some tools, bottled water, poncho and Mylar "blanket",etc. .
Perhaps a cyclist could use it when on overnight trips...but it is also not really designed for that purpose. It is well-made...heavy duty without being heavy in weight. The aluminum hardware is solid....even so, I do not believe it is worth the listed price. It is just fine for its purpose...no major flaws...just over-priced.
