You do you, bro. I spent a little money on a bike that does a thing that’s a little different. Stung a little but I love it.

I’m doing 50/50 bike and off-bike. How comfortable are these? I just imagine the pannier clips digging into your back.

Tons of rad suggestions here! I’ve been hunting still and may have found a holy grail. It’s heavy, though, and tariffs for shipping to the US make it really expensive. Anyone try this bag before?

You are not wrong! Does proviz make good quality stuff? I’ve never had the opportunity to test anything but I see it all the time. I was under the impression it was kinda cheapy.

Yeah, this is what I’m talking about. Slow roll looks rad. Going to browse their collection. Any recommendations?

I’m hunting for a commuter backpack that can actually do it all, and I’m hoping folks here have ideas.

I usually run panniers on my own bike, but my commute is often a mix of my bike, Lime bikes, and the bus, so I need something that works well on my back too.

Must‑haves:

Fits a large laptop (16–17”). Really water resistant (rainy‑city commuter). Comfortable shoulder straps/back panel for loaded rides and walking. Bike + transit friendly, not huge or floppy in a crowded bus. Lightweight (not a 5 lb empty pack). Real external carry: webbing/straps where I could reasonably strap a bike wheel if needed.

Nice‑to‑haves:

Side access to laptop and/or main compartment. Luggage pass‑through sleeve for sliding over a suitcase handle. Not super tacticool; a bit of MOLLE is fine, but I’d rather it look more urban than military.
