    Homemade backpack, 1.7 oz

    I thought about buying one of these but instead decided to make one. I made it out of the sleeves I'd cut off of an old cycling jacket so it's hi-vis yellow. It turned out really nice, weighs 1.7 oz, and rolls up tiny to carry in a jersey pocket. I used it today because I wanted to stop for a few groceries on the way home from my 11 mile ride and didn't want to carry panniers all the way. Got home with a small load of groceries in my trunk rack and the backpack. The backpack only carried kale and chips, but nothing got squashed. I read that these are also used to carry clothing that you might take off mid-ride.

    Oil is good, grease is better.
