Fantastic blog. Keep up the good work.

I am 27 and have recently (November 09) started cycle commuting in London (8 miles each way) having not been on a bike since childhood.

I started with a touring bike with panniers but as I have got into it (and boy is it addictive) I have treated myself to a decent entry level road bike. It has made my commute vastly quicker. However it has no facility to have panniers and to be honest it feels as though it would go against the grain to buy a lightweight roadbike and then add all that weight!

At the moment I use the road bike to commute and the tourer for weekend trails/tours with the other half as I can carry luggage/picnics, but i do miss the convenience of the panniers to take stuff to/from work.

Anway, my question is, where do you stand on the road bike/pannier dilemma?
