doing up the Commutermobile

Yea, yea, yea

I want to be able to haul a full-sized bag of dog food. That's kind of my gold standard. On the Kona now I can just about manage two tiny bags (one in each pannier) but that's inefficient. I also like the idea of taking all my camping gear without needing bags all over the bike or pulling a trailer.

And, of course, there's the margarita blender option...

Do you even need a back fender on your bike? Looks like the platform covers the whole back wheel, plus it's farther away from you than the usual bike tire, so it looks like you don't get sprayed. With the Northwest dampitude, I think about fenders a lot. (almost as much as Mimitabby does)

if you have a platform it WILL cover the wheel and keep you from getting all muddy; but that mud's going to hit the platform.
I'd like to have a blenderthingy too! (where can you get them?)
