I have my mtn bike set up for commuting, but today I took the road bike & used a backpack. I really enjoyed riding the road bike more, but I didn't care for the backpack. I'll have to get my Blackburn rack moved over the road bike so I can use my panniers. I had a couple of misfires (didn't start the computer at the start of the ride, my mirror came off mid-ride), but I still enjoyed the ride a lot.
