Sweaty back help

[DWiggy]

This is my Rucksack, light, comfy and stands off away from your back and I never get a sweaty back http://www.wiggle.co.uk/deuter-race-exp-air-rucksack/

I'm about to ditch my rucksack in favour of something to put on a rack, i'd like something that's easy to carry off the bike too though.

Those 'DJ' bags are just called record bags iirc, very similar to messenger bags

I take the car in at the weekend and drop off clothes for the coming week. For daily commuting I use a Carradice super C Saddlepack which is plenty big enough

I was also another that switched from rucksack to panniers, especially for site visits when locks and full set of clothes started to aggravate my shoulder after an RTA. Shoulder is now fixed, but don't won't go back to rucksacks.

Aldi had their bike event a couple of weeks back and they had some rucksacks then.
I got one and similar to the Lowe Alpine Air zone 25 it has a section that keeps the bag away from your back and allows air flow. Only £15. My local aldi still has a few left so it may be worth taking a look...

I found the metal at the top of that bag is uncomfortable unless you undo and slacken the straps.

Id rather walk mate than put panniers on my bike tbh. You wouldn't put hub caps on a Ferrari now would you lol

Hub caps during the week.alloys for the weekend. You do know a rear rack takes less than 5 mins to remove don't ya?

Altura bar bag for me. Easily detachable for that Testarossa look. Takes trousers, shirt, shreddies (when I remember them!), socks, spare tube, levers, spanner (fixed y'see), flannel, sandwiches and fruit. Water bottle in bottle cage. Soap and deoderant live in desk drawer. Commuter type shoes can be worn round the office so no need to carry another pair.

gives you extra SCR points scalping road bikes , and even more if you put guards on it . Also additional bonus points for fixed gear ! weirdo !

Panniers and racks go against my Amish roots.

That sounds preferable to 2 suitcases draped over my back wheel tbh. Soap and deoderant what are these things you speak of I have baby wipes which i carry with me so im sorted on that front. It is literally 1 bottle of water,packed lunch,wallet and if i had room to screw up my Night Vision jacket in the bottom that would be a bonus but not a game changer.
