Sure! I though since everyone wanted to save a dollar or three why not throw ALL the cards on the table!

But you're right, and I've seen bike tourers on my island who looked absolutely miserable wearing packs like these. In fact the last couple I saw, I figured the girlfriend would be gone (sans boyfriend) before the end of the weekend.

I definitely am not advocating buying all the "latest and greatest" stuff. In fact I don't buy into the whole "spending will make you happy" BS either but it often confounds me what some people put themselves through just to save a few bucks.

DISCLAIMER: This is not an attack or rant directed toward anyone, I'm just having a senior moment...
