    I'm starting to cycle to work and wondering what size rucksack to go for.

    I have a 65L hiking rucksack already but I reckon that might be a little bit too big.

    What do you use?

    30 litre Karrimor Hot with a liner. Or a pannier bag depending on the bike.

    65Litres is way too big. My 40litre is also too big and my carrying 2 or 3st in it is also silly. Buy a small bag and don't carry so much stuff.

    Used panniers for a while, but gone back to a 25litre Vaude. Drive in on Friday and take shirts etc in for the following week, easy.

    30 litre dakine bag thinks its a 101. looks a bit like a schoolbag, but it's excellent, comfy, lots of pockets and plenty of protection for llaptops etc. love it.

    I use a Camelback Octane 8 for my commute, most of the time its big enough for what I need to carry (towel a fresh set of cycling gear for the ride home and some other odds and ends) but if I need more space I just have to undo the centre zip and I gain a few more litres of space.

    Leave stuff at work and just take a rack pack on the top of the pannier

    I'm not sure if it's 65 or 45 litre but it is too big.

    I have a 25 litre karrimor bag but I don't think I will get a change of clothes and my dinner in it.

    I think mine is 30L, it's an Ogio backpack/hydration pack. Enough room for trousers,shoes,polo shirt, small repair kit,some water/snackbars, waterproof.
