Have you tried any sort of messenger/courier bag? The single
strap certainly makes them easier on/off than a backpack, and
much less restrictive. I've used Zo bags[1] for 10+ years on my 
bicycles, and just stopped using them while on my motorcycle
about a year and a half ago. Incidentally the reason I stopped
was due to the realization that items carried on your person
can be detrimental in a crash.

riderwarehouse has a nice selection of these types of bags. a
buddy at work ordered one, and the design and build quality 
were both excellent.

[1] Eric(?) Zo has made bags for bike messengers in San Francisco
for years - excellent quality.

My RKA tankbag works great for shuttling my books/lunch/tools
to and from work on a daily basis. Off the bike it looks like
any other soft briefcase style bag. 3 quick-clips make it very
easy on and off.

	good luck - al.
