if i keep it in my bag my shoulders kill me, yet i can do 50mile rides with it around my waist no problem.
i was riding a critical mass once and this german lady rides up to me and flat out says "you will break your ribs" and i have NO idea what the fuck she was talking about, and then she pointed to my chain.
i usually don't wear it low on my hips, i tend to keep it above my hips - almost resting on top of them. the few times i've gone down with it on the worst that's happened has been my love-handle-area getting pinched in between the chain and a bit of a bruise.
