Jen in Chicago inspired me to audit the contents of my bag. I dumped everything out onto the kitchen floor and cataloged the contents like an archaeologist digging through the ruins of Pompeii. Man, I'm a pack rat.

I don't know how you carry all that weight on your back. I did the backpack thing for 2 days and I was sweaty(er) and the extra weight on my back was bad!
Although if I ever need something I hope you're around!

Heavy bag: Hence the audit, Jared :-)
I've found that messenger bags hang lower on my back and the weight is partially supported by my hip. Less weight on my back than a backpack and less sweat, too.

A Contest!. And a bunch of other stuff.
The Contour Backpack is actually quite comfy if adjusted properly. It's got a nice lumbar frame and some good suspension.

=v= I see a lens on your list but not the camera itself. Was it used to take the photo? :-)
Lesse, I mostly have a subset: rainjacket, tools, cellphone, Caltrain destination tag, and 2 maps; plus my camera, chocolate, a few issues if The New Yorker, more chocolate, my passport, and whatever paper I picked up during the day, to recycle.
I don't have 7 Bike Friday Pocket Rocket manuals.
