5 hours sat in traffic

[Pumpkin the robot]

I used a rucksack on my commute (20 miles each way) Never really bothered me, other than getting a sweaty back!

Oh, and on a more serious note, a rucksack has never felt like a major burden - but I've used them a lot. Panniers, apart from the fact that you have the extra weight of the rack and that there's a big temptation to carry more than you need, are more practical for longer journeys. If it's a 35 mile round trip, I wouldn't bother putting them on.

I read that and looked around to see panniers full to the brim Its only down the road !

Its all about the bass no treble, something to do with booty apparently

Well that was great fun
I started out with a rucksack and went to do my chickens first but decided it was heavy so nipped back home and put the panniers on . What a great way to get to and from work ! I just wish I didn't have to carry a van load of tools most of the time .

Off topic I know, but I wonder how that handles hills? Must get very odd sensation leaving back on a 9% incline.
