Any recommendations for a bicycle backpack which can be easily clipped on a bicycle tray in the back?

Ortlieb bags seem pretty good in my experience. I have the backroller XL which is a pannier bag with a shoulder strap rather than a backpack. Plus they are made in Germany and not just a German company with outsourced production.

    Can also vouch for Ortlieb. Back when I bike commuted to the office, I used an Ortlieb single pannier for my laptop and accessories. Was pretty convenient to clip my bag to the bike and not get my back too sweaty from riding with a backpack.

    Yeah, as a former sweaty back commuter its a big improvement to not have a backpack on. Plus I get fewer holes in the back of my t-shirts now from friction between them and the backpack.

    Although with the heatwaves right now I still get fairly sweaty, at least not having a backpack on makes it a bit better.

    Ditto, Ortlieb Backrollers are great! I'm amazed at how much can fit in them too, I can get a week's worth of groceries in a pair of them. (Some bulky things like a cereal box get strapped on the rack between them.)
