Looks like the tops/zippers would face forward, but it would work with careful tucking of the various straps. Interesting bag!

I was amazed that it did work well. Thought there would be unhealthy pressure onto the abdomen from the sit strap, but the wide backrest took the weight of the bags. If you are wider than the backrest this might not work so well so be sure there is no pressure on your abdomen. Also the shoulder straps need to be long enough so that the "sit strap" works to unload your spine when you are getting on and off your bike. just got back from the bike shop to try the BackTpack on a recumbent bike.

'Course, I could tell you for sure if it works if BackTpack would send one of their products to me for field testing. ;) (chuckle) Yeah, I think the BackTpack would work okay on a recumbent.

It seems to be marketed to a pretty broad audience. I don’t see why you couldn’t use it on a recumbent bicycle, although I don’t have one to test it with.

If so, they should market it towards the recumb. crowd. I'd definitely consider one! Would the, horribly named, “BackTpack” work for recumbent cyclists?
