I LOADED my trunk rack and panniers today. I did not add that much weight but I brought alot of stuff. If I had any hills to navigate I would need gears. Maybe a Surly cross-check is in my future?
In my bags:
1 camelback bottle empty
1 wallet
2 ipods
1 checkbook
1 Folder
1 Kryptonite Mini U
1 Extra T shirt
1 Set keys
1 Small coffee creamer — Fat Free 
36 Keurig single coffee cups
1 Awesome lunch made by me.
The bike rode great. I’m going to look at grocery panniers next.
Don’t stop pedaling to work

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackNice rack Zak! It looks cool on your bike. I rode to work today and there was a small head wind. How much additional wind does the trunk rack and panniers catch?
My butt and large biker legs block it.
You however may notice it.
The trunk bag is pretty aero though.
We might go rack/bag shopping Saturday after the ride. Wanna go Isaac?
sounds like something Id like to do
