I like the looks of my bike and hate to see it all lumpy with add-ons and attachments. I will not commute with the bike equivelant of the family truckster.

Minimalist, to me, means the minimum you need. In my case, I feel I need fenders, and a rack and pannier in order to get to work clean and dry on wetter or hotter days. However, to each his own.
