I thought I carried too much stuff. This guy brings a ton of things along for his rides. I suppose one or two of those bags hold the batteries for his hub motor.

This winter I stopped carrying my tire repair kit because the bicycle now has Bell flat proof inner tubes. They are like heavy duty sponges in a tube shape. They ride hard and are heavy. That is better than having to attempt to repair a flat in below freezing weather. I haven't decided if I want to use them in the spring and summer months.
