To avoid the hassle of the buckle-unbuckle twice a day, I use this bag support for commuting - which was first around in the 50s-60s but has just been re-manufactured and re-introduced:

It's fine for normal loads, but anything heavy puts quite a strain on the saddle rails, so I wouldn't load up with more than 2 boules at a time.
edit: just scrolled back and realised everyone knows about this already. sorry
Could this extra strain lead to a fatigue crack? Across both rails.
