    Why the credit card tip..... (Wondering is it anything to do with the package just arrived from wiggle ;) )

    Same as myself there chap, into my 4th success week of commuting to and from work. Now to invest in a correct rucksake, thought a 10 litre sack would carry my lunch and jacket and clothes for work but a LONG way too small! :)

    went for a short spin and ended up in a severe downpour and had to stop for 5 mins or so

    1. waterproof hi vis is certainly waterproof

    2. thank god for chamois in bibbed shorts, otherwise I would be very sore

    3. its a very light bike isn't it keep thinking I'll get blown off (and I am a big lad); guess I'll just have to get used to it

    Go for the 20 litre - that will fit a change of clothes, lunch, wet gear (if needed) - wouldn't fit shoes though but you shouldn't need to carry those anyhow - got a Deuter bag off crc and can highly recommend http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=18431
