I did something different today. Instead of loading my basket and wearing a throw bag on my back, I put everything into an actual backpack with wide straps. It was so much more comfortable for both me and the bike weight. The only negative was the weight of it on my back during the heat. I can't wait to get panniers. I hope they even out the clunkiness of my commuting. I want to get it to where I don't have to overload the basket (affecting the steering) or overload my back (makes me hot).
Edit: 8.20 miles on the way home! Would have made 10 but I ran out of water and it's too hot to press the issue.
