I guestimate the load at 25 lb total including bag and kit. Handling affected but acceptable -- more so than same weight in low-set pannier, but after all it's a fixed gear and My handling is always very conservative. I'd be interested to hear your experience both with capacity and with effect o

Didn't the left arm/right turn signal originate with motor cars, where you can't stick your right hand out of the right window when you are sitting in the left seat? I've not conducted a rigorous experiment, but it seems to me that any driver ought to be able to see a cyclist's right arm extende
