         Yes i need it! 😉

         So i'm following the @pla way and i tested the possible commuting street. The going is half in downhill, 17km in 42 mins while not pushing.
         The return is ok, but there are 2 climb at 7%, luckily not so long! It would be a good training if i can do it some days per week!

                  @silkevicious @pla If you don't want to put a rack on the bike you could go with something like this: http://bikepacker.com/bikepacking-saddle-bags/

                        @silkevicious @pla I don't know this particular bag by Ortlieb but generally Ortlieb bags are very durable and waterproof. You wouldn't let rain or snow keep you from bike commuting, would you?
