It's because I used to use a backpack that I got the Tailrider. Do you know how much useless crap you can carry all the time in a 2100 CI backpack, and still have room for books, lunch and clothes?

Talk about shaving grams, I lopped-off several pounds by ditching the backpack and all the crap I used to carry in it, just because there was room.

Nope. I'm happy with the Tailrider and adding grocery panniers once a week.
