So true! I used to ride my 15 mile r/t commute with enough stuff for a 300Km brevet when I first started out.

For my commute now (25-35 miles r/t depending on how I feel) I'm down to a handlebar bag with a couple tubes, my pump and levers, phone/wallet/ID badge for work, and a Topeak Survival Toolbox on my seat tube.

At this rate, 20 years from now I'm gonna be riding double centuries with no bags, a half full water bottle, and a stick of gum in my jersey pocket.
