This comment makes no sense!
I ride with a fitted backpack that weighs in at 12 to 14 lbs loaded. It allows me to ride my Madone like the bike was meant to be ridded. It has never had a begitive effect on my ridding what so ever!
I also cruise at 20mph into the wind with my backpack, if I added panniers, it would make my bike bulky and unstable for the way I ride!
