Roads were made for journeys...
I always just used a backpack...
Same here. Nothing fancy.

Plus it's easy to transport clothing and stuff into a place of work with a backpack.
I have a really small The North Face one...Electra. It's perfect for a small change of clothes...or an extra pair of shoes...or a bunch of small things like sunblock, baby wipes, snacks, and a place to stow a lightweight jacket if you start a ride when it's cool and it warms-up. I can wash it in a large delicates bag in the washing machine, too. I take this on most runs of more than 45 miles, since sunblock reapplication is a must and most longer rides are unsupported, so we like to have Clif bars and other munchies along.

remind your lungs how much they like the taste of air.

The pain that hurts the worse is the imagined pain. One of the most difficult arts of racing is learning to ignore the imagined pain and just live with the present pain (which is always bearable.) - Jeff

I use a backpack too.
The only downside is the big sweaty wet spot that it leaves on my back.

The funny part about that is I don't notice how sweaty that spot is until I take off the pack...then I'm always all "ewww...soaked shirt!"
"ewww...soaked shirt!"
In that backpack is a nice dry shirt. Anyone commuting in work clothes? If so, anything much longer than 10 minutes could become a drag.
This morning's commute brought a flat tire and a wait at a draw bridge. I was 20 minutes late -- but who cares -- it's stunningly beautiful out right now!
i love my hydro pack i got this summer. i can fit everything i need for a weekend out, with room to spare, including a 2 liter bladder. it has a pretty incredible air flow material on the back that cuts down on the sweat substantially.
they also threw a sticker in with my order, im a sucker for stickers.
