Here are my trusted steeds. The Kona is bomber steel for hauling a loaded Bob Trailer, fenders, and a nice bright Nightrider light. I'm outfitting her this weekend with a nice Blackburn expedition rack and Madden Panniers as the trailer is overkill for a daily commute, but the daily overloaded Bailey Bag is starting to kill. The Performance handlebar bag is Total Fred, but so far it's been bombproof and is one hand detachable. My other ride is simple and zoomy for days when I've already hauled in a full supply of work clothes.
