I have been cycling with my Zenith SuperSports 
(first a 286/40 and now a 386 SX/120) in a backpack
almost every day to university (about 7 km) for the
last 2-3 years. I never had any problems with the 
machines. I would avoid carrying the computer 
in the rain, and my machine is protected additionally
by the carrying case inside the backpack. A little
bit of extra weight on your back is actually quite 
good exercise! And I guess the computer is more likely
to survive a crash with a car than you are.
