Going to try riding bag/rackless when commuting. Up until today I was riding with a rear rack and saddle bags when I commute home. I do not commute to work, my wife brings me and I ride home. Today and tomorrow I am going to try something new. Bringing enough bike cloths to change into for the ride home and leave my regular clothing in the bag at my desk, once a week or so I will take my soiled laundry home to wash. The only thing I will have to carry home every day is my belt and shoes which will fit in my recumbent seat bag.
I am doing this for a few reasons. First is to streamline my preperation at getting ready to leave work. With the saddel bags it takes me about 20 to 25 min to fully prep to leave work. This will also streamline how long it takes me to get everything ready to come to work when I have to load my Jeep with the bags and bike. It is also to reduce the weight I carry on the bike which will hopefully make my commute time home faster. Right now I am at about an hour and 5 min. I'd like my 14.15 mile commute to be faster, with less weight that should happen.
