Depends what I'm doing and what bike I'm on. No mention of trailer though which I use quite a lot for heavy stuff (potting compost, gravel, sand and cement etc)

same, i am getting a road bike today and i will be using a saddle bag mainly but i will still commute on the commuter with a rucksack and up until now i have always ridden my one and only bike with no luggage when leisure riding apart from for longer rides such as my first 100 miler for which i had an improvised bar bag

just found he has another thread here

Hello, I am a university student carrying out research for my final project. The objective of this questionnaire is to develop an understanding as to how people use bicycles in urban areas and what types of luggage they use to carry their belongings around with them. If as many people as possible could fill out this survey I would be very grateful. Thank you.

Cheers Ed

originally a thread about what i should have in a saddle bag but it has also turned into a discussion on cycle luggage

these are personally my favourite make of gear and make some great innovative bike luggage

I must admit to being an Alpkit fan though I prefer a pannier on the bike, I have used one of their bags strapped on when I don't want a pannier or when travelling with full panniers and hooked onto the rack.

Everything BUT a rucksack, reason being that it is the route to a bad back, doing so.

Current favourite is a Frost River Gunflint Trail seat bag, 25L, fits on a SQR and holds everything I could possibly need for a commute, night ride or, indeed, a 1 week tour!
