Topeak mtx trunk bag. The side panels unzip to unveil fold out panniers, I've been pretty happy with it!
Except don't wear a backpack. They make your back all sweaty. Use a trunk bag like this one instead.
Thanks for the well thought out response! I'll have to look into some clipless shoes that still allow you to walk... I mostly "commute" to the movies, bank, etc. My work is a 7 mile ride, I sweat a lot, and work doesn't have showers... so I'm not too eager to ride to work yet.
Speaking of rear panniers, I was looking into buying this bag, what are your thoughts?
Depending on what you're travelling with, you could look into a bike rack and detachable bag.
I use this rack and this bag.
what should you know about saddle bags? Buy a topeak MTX quicktrack rack and the expandable EXP bag This system is too amazing to describe. Small bag for short trips, unfolds into full pannier setup. Securely fastening it to your bike in under 10 seconds is a dream compared to conventional veclro/bungee systems. Both of these together will be over your $80 budget for your helmet/lock/bag but it's well worth it. I'll never use another bag/rack again. The rack is also lighter than the cheaper rack I was using before.
I'm hesitant to replace the bag that I use every day and is still in great condition, just something that I can buy to make it so that I can still use it. After research, I found that I could get a this Topeak Bag and a Topeak Basket for groceries. I could fold my messenger bag and have enough room for stuffs.
I've got the Topeak MTX Explorer - Note if you have disc brakes get this one instead
and Topeak MTX EXP with zip down panniers
The bag slides into the track on top of the rack and snaps in place. Panniers fold up into the sides of the bag when not in use. Total cost for both, about $130.
On my old steel touring bike that came with racks I use Swiss army bread bags as panniers. They look nice, and are cheap!
