Hopefully i'll get faster and i'll also need to find a way to lighten the load on my back. Thank you for sharing.
Panniers are a great way to lighten the load! Put the weight on your bike and not on your back. I'm not working right now so commuting only for social and errand trips. Last job was about 16 km (10 miles) one way and took about 1 hour when I started out and about 45 minutes once I got in better shape.
