Im planning on doing the c2c later this year on a single speed. While originally planning to refurb a puch cavalier i was given, I actually ended up buying a Plug 2.
Now I've had chance to ride it I'm utterly in love with my bike but I've hit a problem. I need to carry a couple of days clothes and the associated bike gubbins with me on the ride. I original just thought i'd get a cheap day sack with bladder capacity and crack on. But my buddy has suggested riding crouched over for 50 miles over hilly routes may not be the most fun with a backpack and he fancies panniers.
Now i see the practical application of panniers but am loathe to fit a rack on my shiny new toy. So I'm hoping you guys have done similar distances/situations and may offer advice. Thoughts?
