SK, Two things worked for me. I keep the shoulder strap very short so that the bag sits in the middle of my back (when I swing it around to the front the pack will be waist level, not at hip level) and the stabilizer strap is cinched VERY snugly. That works for me and keeps my size medium from swinging around.

On my road bike, I use my messenger bag for commuting. If I'm riding my Bike Friday, I use panniers on the rack.

Timbuk2 makes a messenger-look bag now that has the straps of a regular backpack, I guess to address the swinging-around problem. I have no idea how well it's doing for them, and we since we don't sell it I also have no idea how people are liking it.
