Ah. I love posting pics of my bike as much as I love my bike. 43lbs as shown, with rain jacket, sun screen, air pump and bike lock in one pannier padlocked to the rack. The other pannier has a shoulder strap to use it as a carry-on bag.
I use it to commute, for groceries, fun and everything else. It's the only one I want to ride.
