My first thought when I opened the thread. I used to commute 3-4 days/week for 12-18 mile commutes. On one of my drive days I'd bring in a week's worth of clean clothes and come home with last week's dirty.
Now there are plenty of bags that are big enough to carry lunch, spare lights and more. Saddle bags, frame bags, etc. Most go on without any hardware so taking them off for the weekend is easy.
