I've just recently switched to the mac world and am delighted with my new 12" powerbook. I'm an avid about-town cyclist and often bring my powerbook along to my office and back home. Could the vibration from my ride posssibly dammage? What kind of precautions can I take? Any similar experiences?

I usually ride with side-saddles on my back rack. Can I continue to use this or should I switch to messager bag?

I cycle everywhere, it's too expensive to drive over here. No problems; just be double sure you don't fall off - or attempt cushion the blow with something soft, like your intestines...

I ride every day with my 17' powerbook and have had no problems. I use the Timbu2 bag.
