Hi everyone
In order to get more cycling into my week I’ve started to think of using a good commuter bike for home visits to patients when for example I’m local and say limit mileage to 30 miles round trip? Problem is an optician has to carry a LOT of stuff for eye testing, hence, I had put this off for ages as it just sounded ludicrous to me! But I’m thinking if I get a dedicated bike for all weather conditions and have big panniers on each side at the back and a big box on the front? I reckon I could cut down my luggage weight to around 15kg if I got weight saving storage for the bags.
do you think this is possible? At the moment I have a lovely endurance carbon bike, which is useless for this purpose, so would love as much advice as possible for a bike, bags, etc and whatever you think of...
