-Do you guys where a back pack for your work belongings or is it better to get a rear wheel attach bag?
-What are the laws regarding reflective front/rear beacons on bikes?
Nice bike. I'd own one if they made them bigger.

I think the law is just to have reflectors. I just throw a cheap MEC red turtle light on the back and a white one up front.

I find headlights on bikes REALLY annoying. They are super blinding for everyone else and completely unecessary in the city.

I like panniers for sweat factor.
