Plus, seatbags are uberfredly.
Fair enough, but packs are Freddy too, depending on who you ask...
I'm use to wearing a pack anyways for my commutes, and impromptu rides after work, so it's not so much an issue, however I do notice the weight is noticeable on my back versus riding free. Just curious how others find it.
This is my pack loaded for my daily commute. I'm hoping a Mule loaded with 3 liters of water should feel lighter on
