Back to finding myself never carrying the bag, just pulling the bare minimum out of it. Came to a bit of a head yesterday when I needed a tool that I knew I have in the bag but didn't have the bag because the bag sucks. Mostly that it's too heavy, and the straps are annoying.
I'm thinking of going to two bags, one of which may be a sling. Considering this guy. Looks like I can leave it packed with some stuff, cycle some other stuff in and out. The fact that the main pouch holds an iPad is a big consideration.
