Och, John! Don’t let where I ride and write lead you to commit one of the seven deadly sins! Wink.
Aye, and well spotted. The trick to using the bike saddle as a back rest is to position the ground facing pedal at the top of the stroke, lay the bike down, then all is stable and the saddle falls somewhere in the small of the back (depending on terrain). Just enough for a wee back rest. The ground tarp is waxed canvas and doubles as a writing desk protector from rain, snow, and mud while on the saddlebag.
Try as I might, I haven’t found a way to write cross legged well for more than a few minutes. Maybe it’s the vertigo, but its off to the side and fiddly. A longer writing board/desk works, but then is longer to carry and this is sized to fit in the panniers. Though now I think on it, a longer board would work atop the saddle sack. Hmmmm.
With abandon,
Patrick
