But no, I think that is the fun of this thing. When Maggie (Mrs. Average Joe Cyclist) first got it, she was so excited to find all the various compartments and figure out how she could arrange her stuff! In an upcoming video, Maggie will demonstrate how she packs all her stuff into this cycling backpack.<\/p>\n<h3>Webbing on the Outside of the Targus Work + Play Cycling Backpack<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_30782\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30782\" style=\"width: 375px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"30782\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/targus-work-play-cycling-backpack-review\/targus-backpack\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/targus-backpack.jpg?fit=375%2C551&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"375,551\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"targus backpack\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/targus-backpack.jpg?fit=204%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/targus-backpack.jpg?fit=375%2C551&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-30782 size-full lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/targus-backpack.jpg\" alt=\"The Targus Work + Play Cycling Backpack has webbing on the front so you can attach items to it, such as your helmet\" width=\"375\" height=\"551\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-30782\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"30782\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/targus-work-play-cycling-backpack-review\/targus-backpack\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/targus-backpack.jpg?fit=375%2C551&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"375,551\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"targus backpack\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/targus-backpack.jpg?fit=204%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/targus-backpack.jpg?fit=375%2C551&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-30782 size-full lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/targus-backpack.jpg?resize=375%2C551&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"The Targus Work + Play Cycling Backpack has webbing on the front so you can attach items to it, such as your helmet\" width=\"375\" height=\"551\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/targus-backpack.jpg?w=375&amp;ssl=1 375w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/targus-backpack.jpg?resize=204%2C300&amp;ssl=1 204w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/targus-backpack.jpg?resize=250%2C367&amp;ssl=1 250w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/targus-backpack.jpg?resize=320%2C470&amp;ssl=1 320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 375px) 100vw, 375px\" \/><\/noscript> The <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2xAn7IJ\">Targus Work + Play Cycling Backpack<\/a> has webbing on the front so you can attach items to it, such as your helmet<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This is a feature we have not encountered with other cycling backpacks we have reviewed.

The shoulder straps are ergonomically designed, and the chest strap helps to keep the weight comfortably distributed. I found it comfortable to wear, even fully loaded.<\/p>\n<h3>Bottom Line on the Targus Work + Play Cycling Backpack<\/h3>\n<p>This is an intelligently designed cycling backpack that gets the job done. For many people, it will provide an ideal way to get your gear to and from work, without the frustration of battling to find your stuff because it\u2019s all mixed together. Our only complaint\/suggestion is that it would be nice to have a choice of a brighter color. However, when it rains, the rain cover is a nice bright orange, so this will certainly help to keep you visible in the rain.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_30796\"
