Question for Mrs Badger re rucksacks

[LaCerbiatta]

So what should one wear if needs to carry around a lot of stuff, cycles and gets back pain when using anything that doesn't distribute the weight evenly?
I think i'm not too unstilish and I don't think my rucksack looks good at all (even though it's not a sporty one, it is a black one with brown leather bits) but I'm yet to find an alternative.... I tried wearing a very nice leather satchel (?) one I have but the shoulder pain was just too much...
Suggestions please!

performance hiking-type rucksack for cycling is allowable (so long as in subtle colours and not overfilled) - actually performance ones often look better than high-st type ones as the straps don't dig in and crease your top so badly.
but I'd use the satchel and put it in the basket myself.

Have you tried a proper courier bag with a stabiliusing third strap?

Yes, putting it in the basket is an option but on Fridays and Mondays I need to carry my laptop as well, so needs to be on my back...
What's a courier bag?

those one-shoulder rucksack type things
tried to find a pic but no-one would cooperate [grr]

hang on

still can't find a good pic of someone wearing one

but this kind of thing - one strap goes across your body and there is an extra strap that goes under one arm for stability and to distribute the weight.

aha, look here and click the bottom right thumbnail pic on the left - see the strap going under his arm?
A few of the other pics show it too.
