Opps yes above. I carry all my belongings in my backpack and haven't had a need for extra storage. I have a motorcycle that I've been using to commute for the last couple years and I usually store all my things in my backpack. I have a cargo net and have only had to use it once to carry a 16x16x12 inch box.
So would you guys recommend a road bike or a hybrid like the Jamis Coda? Both seem to be in the $250 range used which fits perfectly in my budget.
