Does the bike have eyelets for a rack?
If you want one, and it helps the kind of riding you do, and the bike can accept one, then put a rack on it!
If you want to do rides light and fast, without a rack, look for a rack that can clamp onto your seatpost (assuming you don't have a carbon seatpost, as I don't think you can put a rack on one of those) that you can quickly remove for "rack free riding."
