Backpacks provide very useful spine protection,
They also carry tubes, pumps, inflators, granola bars, water, gatorade, money, buisness cards, goggle wipes & tearoffs, an extra t-shirt, an iPod or mp3, a cell phone, autographs, spare derrailleur hangers, spare parts (such as a derrailleur or chain, both things I've needed), and of course a camera, zipties and a pair of multi-tools.
That's not to mention the back-support making riding for a long period of time funner.
, and the fact that I actually prefer riding with a pack and hate carrying things in my pockets.....plus it protects valuables so they don't get crushed between your leg and a rock or tree in a crash, possibly impaling you......

Oh... I ride with a wallet, and have never needed any of those other things. So the pack gives back support? I've never heard that before.

And if you bring a camera with, why don't you have any riding pictures?

no response lol

No tom lol I have hw haha
And my response is, we're usually to lazy to use the camera, forget about it, or its not mine...
We have shit cameras to, so our pics usually turn out shitty.
And I've found the things I carry very useful....very often.
Packs do provide support as they are semi-rigid.....

Huh.

this is gross
