Interesting choice of works. As if people use packs due to some fascinating aspect of it. I do it out of necessity.
I have a 62mi RT commute. I ride it on my only road bike, a full carbon Giant OCR. I cannot put a rack on the bike. I could do a seatpost rack, but I would need a non-carbon seatpost anyhow.
With the right pack I hardly notice it's there.
