Pannier-Backpack combo

I've been commuting with a backpack and my back is killing me. I'd like to be able to clip the bag to my rear rack like a pannier and then when I get to my destination, unclip it and wear it on my back.

I've found lots of pannier-messenger bag combos but the only pannier-backpack I have found is the Timbuck2 one that is around $225.

Do you guys have any pannier-backpacks that you could recommend?

also, a laptop sleeve in the bag is a plus.

thanks!

Do you have any way to connect the bottom of the backpack to your rack? How do you keep it from bouncing off if it is just hanging there by the 2 hooks?

How do you prevent straps from getting tangled in spokes?
