I just started a 37 mile roundtrip to work last week (only a few days a week right now, though). I'm really enjoying it and plan to continue. But I don't love wearing a backpack...and I bet I'll like it less when it gets warmer. This Arkel Bug looks just about perfect for me. I'm wondering how having it on only one side of the bike affects your balance, though. Obviously it will depend on how much stuff I put in there.
