Hi Everyone,
Just joined so thought it only polite to say hello and ask a few questions.
I have been forced by my wife to get on my bike because she resents giving me a lift to the station at 5.30 am every morning. That in itself isn't a problem. I got my next door neighboor (a real bike nut) to help me fix my Merida mountain bike. Alls well on that front now.
However because my daily public transport commute is over 160 miles a day, I need to take not only my T60p laptop, my breakfast, lunch, snacks, and gym stuff it means I will have to get a larger rucksack or leave a lot of the stuff at home (which I can't really do)
Would I be safe with a day sack ? I can't really use those bike bag things because at the other end of the public transport there is a 2.5 mile walk.
I was thinking something along the lines of http://www.millets.co.uk/rucksacks/daysacks/product/094307.html as a medium sack. If I need to get a netbook instead of a full 15" laptop I suppose I could do that as well.
Also once I get a bit more adventurous (ie used to it) I was thinking of biking the first leg which is 7.5 miles to get my first train. Would this be doable in under 30 mins ?
Regards
Stuart
