Hi
when I first got into biking (mainly road) it was considered very bad form to have anything other than a small saddle bag. Now it seems de rigueur to have a multitude of bags strapped to your bike. I run a small top tube bag, rack for panniers (commuting) - ultimately, I‘m not going to lose any sleep over strict ( or otherwise) adherence to ‘the rules’. I will be doing some very light touring, so what do those more experienced think? Just my observations, but It seems luggage in general has gone from being a bit nerdy to very much on trend!
