Hi,

Just wondering what the best way is to transport luggage on my winter road bike?
i haven't got rack mounts but can i get a specific road bike rack that mounts on seat post?

Cheers

    Google carradice saddlebag (with qr mount) and also bridge street saddlebags - one old school and one new school (kickstarter backed) large saddlebag options.

    I have the carradice ((Pendle - 11 lt - they come in multiple sizes and designs) and can't recommend it enough...though it is heavier an I might try out the bridge street one when I get my next bike.

    These aren't a bad option and can carry a reasonable weight, upto 15lb.

    Unless you have a carbon seat post of course.

    Decent airflow rucksack?

    Have tried various solutions, panniers, saddle bags, seat post beam and they all work ok but rucksack is now my preferred option. Have done lots of miles with mine including touring in france and quite comfy if not overloaded
