No bugging out, no hill climbing except for the hill by the lake to my favorite fishing spot and especially no bad weather cycling. If the sun is not out and the temps between 15 and 30 the bike will remain parked.

I am thinking about a rear platform carrier, couple of water bottles and perhaps the addition of one of those nifty milk crates attached to the platform with bungee cords to contain the shopping goods. Real fancy stuff!

Milk crate's a good idea, just make sure its well secured and that you have a few bungees to hold things down in it as you plough down the road at break-neck speed :-)

Off fishin' by bike... I like it. :-)
