I’m wondering about those of you who commute to work now and then. For some reason I have a hard time minimizing what I carry with me. I don’t have a car, so when I leave the house I need to have everything I might need on my back. It leads to me carrying all kinds of crazy things, like a multi-tool and a flashlight. Do any of you have a minimalist setup for your bike or bus commute?
I think one of the most challenging things is figuring out what you actually need and how much space you can fit that into. Do you already have a preferred bag?
I have two backpacks I switch out depending on how much work stuff I’m bringing. The small one is about 12 litres and is from Briggs and Riley. It’s not made any more. The larger one is a Patagonia Refugio 26 litre.
