Rucksack recommondations

[Ralfb]

Hi all, i am looking for a rucksack that needs to hold a laptop, changing clothes as well as a towel, doesnt need to be waterproof, water resistant would be enough for my commute to work.
Can anyone recommend one, please.
Thanks

Think about whether you do want all that weight on your back or whether rack and panniers might work better

Think i rather have my laptop on my back. Also dont know if i can fit panniers on my bike, never really thought about them

Your choice. Personally I wouldn't want something heavy and hard like a laptop on my back and near my neck in case of a fall

Panniers can be fitted to most bikes even if it doesn't have the lugs on the frame

I do sometimes find myself wondering what would happen, spinal injury wise, in the event of an off whilst I'm totting my massive and heavy but very very cheap Lenovo laptop in my Timbik2 messenger bag. But I think the Kyrptonite lock would probably do more damage.

As to the OP. You might consider a messenger bag rather than rucksack.

I'm not sure, a lock is relatively small and sits near the bottom of a rucksack. A laptop is rather larger, a solid rectangle with corners and would be sat on shoulders and near neck. You can also get horrid and sweaty using a laptop, even the ones with airflow vents and whatnot
