  • Right side pannier has lock, jacket, and bungee cords, but is mostly empty.
  • Tools and tubes go in the frame bag.
The extra room is for when Mrs. A drops the "can you go to $STORE and get @ITEMS?" message ... or when I find something interesting on the side of the road... or when I need to carry a computer because I'm on-call.

If I need more room, I go home and get the Bakfiets out.
