I know it works well for a lot of people everywhere but I've always thought that the quick release options (and even the Bagman systems) were a bit of a bodge that compromises the bags somewhat. I still prefer to keep a shopping bag with everything (valuable) in it inside the Carradice so that I can take it with me when I leave the bike.

And leave the bag on the bike, using the straps.
