As a professional gun writer and instructor, I have seen LOTS of holsters. I have not found a perfect solution to bike carry. A lot depends on what clothing you wear.
If you wear a projective jacket (even in summer) the fastest access would be a proper shoulder holster.
Ankle holster works well on a bike for small guns if you wear it on the strong side rather than the traditional support side. Unless, you wear boots which are too big to fit an ankle holsters.

Problem with this is that the gun is at a very poor angle which makes it hard to grip and the strap is a major problem. You have to first undo the Velcro strap to reach the gun then grip the gun without the strap getting in the way. Slow and ungainly with a high probability of the strap getting in the way.
OWB and IWB hosters such as the CrossBreed work, but it might be slow to draw depending on what type of protective clothing you wear.
The SneekyPete looks interesting, but I have not had a chance to try it. The draw technique in the video may not be the best, but it might be the shooter not the SneekyPete.
A fanny pack off to the side works as well if you don’t mind wearing a fanny pack. It does not bother me. Be sure to get one that tightly holds your gun rather than just using a loose holster inside. They have a nasty habit of guns falling out when you open the fanny pack.
While I have not tried the Urban Carry, it looks to be a very similar concept to others that I have tried. I sincerely doubt that it will work in everyday use any where close as well as in the sales video, especially when sitting. I expect that you will have to wear your pants pretty loose in order to get your hand in quickly.
In terms of draw time, do NOT discount the need for very quick draws. I have numerous seen videos of gunfights where quick draws were necessary.
Also, I am not fond of any two-handed draws. Your support hand may be injured, blocking, striking, arm wrapping, holding back kids, pulling your girlfriend out of the fight, pushing your wife into the fight, etc. One-handed draw is always best.
