My work starts to feel like what I do between bike rides!
I LOVE my Arkel Tailrider Expedition--it takes everything I need or folds down for just my lunch, wallet, glasses and phone. I highly recommend it.
Congrats....Thats exactly the time I started and distance for my commute ....and I feel you when it comes to not having to worry about putting gas in your car expecially a truck. I do carry a small backpack (sac) where I carry a small lunchbag with my home made meal; it has a front zipper pocket where I put my phone, glasses ,keys and wallet and two side net pockets I like it and its very convenient, but with the heat it makes my back really hot .. I am thinking on getting a tail rack..but dont know if thats going to make the bike a lot more heavy I ride an oldschool schwinn.
