Cheers. It's probably a labour of love!

The commute is fairly mixed. 30, 50 and more 30mph zones. About 5 miles is 70mph highway which is ok but not the best bit of the ride to work.

But how do you manage without having a rear cargo box? I can't travel without one! It's as necessary as a tall screen.!
Hi Mark

Cheers, just looked up some roads in PA. Maidstone Avenue to be precise... How much space do you guys have?!?! Would love to explore the USA by bike.

I was advised by a biker colleague at work not to get a top box at first. Said it would look silly and interfere with the centre of gravity. I travel light.

To work under the seat I have:

Work shoes
Work trousers
Waterproof trousers
Waterproof overcoat
Disc lock
Work laptop/charger
Work phone/my phone.

If I'm staying overnight I use a bungee to tie down a backpack. It all fits... just!

Safe riding! :)
