Come on people, you are killing me. I like the way I have it set up. I ride this trusty steed on my weekends off. I like to ride 30 - 50 miles on the weekend, so I need a place to put my wallet, phone, and keys. I also need a patch kit and pump for when I pop a tire. I don't want to get stuck someplace 50 miles from home and have to walk it back. If I did not get free parking at my work, I would use this bike as a daily commuter. Sorry for the pictures, my camera takes big pictures. I set it on the small picture setting and they still come out huge.
