Bike commuting's fine almost all the time. Days when I have (okay, choose) to bring in a lot of stuff are harder, though. Today I squeezed all this into my small Mountainsmith daypack: two oranges and one apple (a stockpile for next week), two bottles of mineral water (ditto), a 600-page history book that needed to be renewed in person at the library, a thermos of coffee, and a ziploc full of Legos (don't ask).
