Used to ride around with a backpack back in the olden days.
A friend pointed out that it could do some damage to your arms if you fall off and the bag gets caught on something.
Also don't think it would be too good if you were carring hard items and fell off at an akward angle. i.e. If half your back fell onto some uni books and half fell onto the road. Might snap something important.
I now use a ventura pack rack. It can fit heaps of stuff in it ( I think about 45 litres ). Its also got straps on it so you can wear it like a backpack when you get off the bike. The only real downside is they tend to create quite alot of wind resistance. You can only really notice once you're past about $1.50 though, so most of the time its not a biggie.
