silasmellor i rode to paris with a postie bag and although it's relatively comfortable, i'm seconding the suggestions for you to get something more touring oriented... as for your arse, bring a pair of padded cycling shorts!
yep, i toured with a postman bag in france this summer. So comfortable, i think.
You can have weight on your back, so long as you don't have too much. I'd say keep your baggage below 5kgs. No lock - unneceessary. No food - unnecessary. Just take change of pants/cycling shorts, maybe change of t-shirt. You must go as light as possible. This is especially important because you're riding fixed.
