Yeah, that's crazy!
Need a workout? Have you tried shifting gears??? How about pedaling faster???
Sorry, but adding a backpack for more of a workout seems kinda silly and rather counter-best-practice as far as bike riding goes.
My advice is to reconsider...and I definitely wouldn't drive 2-f'n-hours to see a backpack! That's really crazy! One word: Amazon.
