Ah yeah Estonia is not rich enough for everyone to buy 5 bikes so we buy one that can do everything.
I spy a disturbing lack of racks and baskets and places to attach packs to go grocery shopping on your hybrid though. ;) Many city people don't own a car (or only use it for taking their sports bike out of the city), so I guess they use their gas money for that. I wouldn't know, I'm a one (utility) bike only person as well.
Ah but that's what a backpack is for, to be used only when needed. Why would I want extra weight on my bicycle, it'll slow me down! lol
Because I can't fit a crate of beer in my backpack, ofcourse!
Fair enough, I have a car for that. Can't drive back, but then again, cycling drunk is illegal too.
