It's complicated. I work on secure computer systems and they won't let me keep a computer at home and another at work and I have to do office shifts and home shift sometimes. So I need to take the lappy to and from when I'm going from a work from home day to an office day. If I get two days on the trot in the same place, I can leave it behind. Keep a lot of shit in my bag though, I could (should) pare that down a bit.
Still can't get around having super-wide sit bones, which are quite sticky-out, they have limited natural padding on them, I weigh fifteen stone and I ride in quite an upright position.
I can't fit standard paniers to either of my bikes - no frame bosses. But I'm thinking of resurrecting my old Cadenza folder for commuting. Maybe by next year it might be ready.
Does anyone know if you can get screw-on frame bosses BTW. I swear I saw some in a shop years ago but didn't buy because I didn't need them at the time. Like a bracket for lights say, but it had a threaded boss attached. Every shop I've asked in since said they don't make them and I need to buy a floating MTB-style rack (which won't cope with the weight).
