I carry everything in a backpack and I ride 5 days a week, rain or shine. I see numerous others like me who commute on road bikes and backpacks that I see everyday. I usually leave around 6 am and wear lycra and jerseys for my commutes. Just because we want to be fast doesn't mean we are not serious commuters.
