If your concerned about it handling the bumps etc, then when cycling be careful!
Don't thump up a kerb, don't take the cobbled streets etc.
Find a nice safe route that you can cycle with relative ease, taking it easy because you are carrying a delicate bit of kit.

When your not carrying it, then you can ride like a maniac.

Zoom's right - if my laptop was paid for out of my own money then I'd be taking a helluva lot more care of it than I do, but as it's not, then it gets treated very badly but hasn't died on me yet :)

Maybe you could wrap yourself up in bubblewrap before getting on your bike.

:confused: How would it reach the pedals?

And in addition, any bag I got, I would also add some hard plates (1/8" plastic sheets etc) into it to try & prevent any knocks should you come off.

Foam is OK for general anti rattle type stuff, but IMO you need something harder if it is going to be hitting something. (sheet/foam/laptop/foam/sheet).

If the laptop is expensive, then it's worth spending that extra on a very good bag.

And don't forget the users helmet to protect that too :D

perhaps check if household insurance covers this sort of thing too? can't be too careful...
