As far as the guy who likes to take panniers along with him on long road rides, I guess it makes sense, but I also see how it then defeats the purpose of an ultra-light bike.
Do you really need a 50 pound bike just to carry one bag of groceries home? I can't think of any possible reason whatsoever to buy a 2nd bike to do what my first bike is completely capable of doing.
