No, this isn't another "how do I carry?" thread. I have this one figured out.
I do a fair amount of bike riding (10-30mi a week). I also live in a relatively urban area at the moment, and especially since I just moved here, I wanted to carry a few essentials (wallet, keys, cell phone, pistol, etc) without a lot of junk in the pockets of my gym shorts. Concealed carry on a bicycle just seemed too difficult.
The Camelbak Mule performs the job beautifully. My non-gun stuff goes in the upper pocket for easy access as well as not interfering with the gun. I was even more pleased to find that my Sig P6 fits like a glove in one of the pouches in the lower pocket, and, as if by design, theres an elastic "retention strap" that velcro's the pistol in place.
Here's the Camelbak, the P6, and a spare mag of Hydrashok.
And the lower pocket. The "retention holster" is on the right.
And the pistol in the pocket. Perfect fit.
Before you all start hollering about not being able to draw quickly, I figure if I need to use it, the BG will probably be demanding my wallet or my bike. If he wants the bike, he can have it. If he wants the wallet, it'll be obvious I gotta go into the bag for it, so I'll just draw the pistol instead of the wallet. I could even fire it through the bag if I need to.
