is there not a 'show us your commute pack-up' thread?

Saddle bag contains stuff that I always want:
- lock
- jacket
- tubes
- pump
Rucksack:
- clothes for the day
- wallet, keys etc.
- food for the day
- laptop if I need it
- tools for easy access
Commute: ~25km mostly on NCN1
Record time: 1h 2m

Need to ditch the rucksack but requires something that is easily removed from the bike without adding a rack or whatever that will annoy me on a weekend ride

Carradice Super C SQR Slim is the perfect option for this.

It just has a small bracket on your seat post so doesn't impact weekend riding.

Will take everything you currently have in saddlebag plus rucksack.

I loved mine when I used to commute. No one else seems to use them, but should.

Currently £66 at sjs

Cheers. Realistically I shouldn't buy anything because I'll be moving in a month and 25km is pretty much the practical limit for a commute I think - beyond that it becomes too much time/too early a start to do regularly. Will have to see where I end up living!
