Ashes to ashes, desk to desk - taking a laptop into work

I need to only carry a laptop so ideally I would like something like this.

Unfortunately this means custom.

I googled that to make sure it wasn't real...

I'll do a kit grid next week

Or buy a Tubus Duo and run the setup on two different bikes?

Now that's an interesting idea...

I found this pictures of a similar setup from blue lug..
I have no idea how much it will affect handling though.

What's the rationale for no laptop in rear pannier?
If I had a commute that wasn't that long and my commuter had flat bars I'd 100% go for a front basket rack

I prefer keeping the weight off the rear, means you can share the load a bit better and run more even pressures. Also, you don't swing the weight around on the front when you're out of the pedals. Plus, instagrams.

@MisterMikkel, I've used a single front pannier before - it's fine for everything other than riding no hands. However, any real weight is definitely better shared. I guess the benefit of using a duo between two bikes is you halve the upfront cost, but you do prevent the ability to double up if needed.

+1 for keeping the load up front.
I also like the fact that you can see your luggage.

I have carried my 13” laptop in a prototype Hungry basket bag in a Wald 137 or Kmart wire basket. No issues.
