Just wondering what people do to strap their every day laptop bags onto a bike rack. mine is rather non tradional, or rather it's very retro so most made for the rack bags don't work on my bike.

For everyday carrying of bulky items on a bike. Attach an onion/fruit and vege tray to your carrier.(light and almost no wind resistance.pvc coated wire)
Whatever your carrying usually goes in quick and easy. You hold it in place with an elastic strap or old belt. For a more fragile item such as a laptop add a thick foam liner.
If you have a spill, the laptops chances of survival are greatly improved if your not rolling on it.
I wouldn't advocate doing this to your training or race day bike. But for your humble commuter or sacrificial shopping centre bike it is the way to go. They are best a bit daggy so they will be there when you return.

What's retro? The bike or the bag or the laptop?
Back when I was bike commuting with a laptop, I stuck it in a backpack, because I was worried about the bumps etc being attached to the bike.
If you're talking about a regular laptop bag, and you don't want to wear it on your shoulder, I wouldn't try to carry it on a rear luggage rack. You might add a basket to the top of the rack, so the bag won't fall.
Good luck,
Scott

the only option for heavy plenty on an entire suspension mountain motorcycle is to apply a bags trailer. in basic terms seatpost racks will greater healthful an entire suspension motorcycle opposite to what a prior answerer reported, and those racks are ideal for mild plenty in basic terms.

If I carry my laptop while riding, I wear a backpack and put it in a ballistic sleeve and put it in the pack, I don't put it on my rack.
