I finally got my commuter pretty well finished. I got a seatpost mounted trunk rack, and a basic trunk bag, because all I really need is a way to carry my lunch, and spare jacket. I usually take a duffle bag of clothes to work on the days that I drive my car, and leave them in my locker, so I don't need to carry much when I commute on my bike.
The new NightRover Xtra 16w light is working out fantastic. It seems to be plenty bright for my 15mph avg speed. My bike as is, weighs about 27.5#. Fully loaded with lunch and spare stuff, it comes in at 32#. I figure it's better to have that on the bike, than on my back with my backpack.
