My husband tried the basket routine and hated it. He now uses a Gille Berthold handlebar bag that comes off pretty easily and he can carry onto BART. It's pricey, but was the best solution we could find.

I wonder if your husband could get a rack and then attach a back pack to it with compression straps.


I forgot, we also have an Arkel handlbar bag. It also comes off pretty easily. But is kind of heavy for lugging around. If you could fit, you'd want to be inside that bag during an earthquake!
