Oh cmon Johnny Tuff I'm certain you have a few "dude you're the hand" stories about backthreading a GriGri to share withus?
Sheeeit, how stupid do you think I am? Only trad climbers and the greenest of gumbies dude-you're-the-hand their GriGris.

Anybody have beta on good waterproof messenger bags/packs? Especially that you would trust a laptop in?

I've had a Timbuk2 bag for about a year that I've done the bike-commute thing with. Been through blizzards, NorEasters, etc and haven't ever had a drop get through.
For larger volumes those Ortleib backpacks look like the ticket.

I also know of people that bring in new sets of workclothes via car/bus/whatever on Mondays and then ride the other four days.
Ahh, that's keen beta; thanks. Backpack dealie might do the trick, too.
Is this what they mean by "bipartisanship?"
Or would that be "bike-partisanship?"

Clusterfucking is underrated.
Are you thinking of daisy-chaining?

I use a Dueter Trans-Alpine 30 pack with a rain fly.
No fried puter yet.
Bold. I've seen some people with the Ortlieb bags. Those look pretty bomber, waterproofing-wise, but they look a little skimpy on features and padding. I'm not sure I'd trust the laptop in something less than totally submersible.

I've thought about it, but I guess I'm just looking for a less clusterfucked solution, if possible.

I commute 32 miles round trip daily
Damn, good on you, mate.
I was pretty pleased with myself for commuting about 1/4 to 1/2 that distance. I don't think I could hang with 16 miles each way. 
I have found the logistical hassle of bringing all my stuff along to be difficult to overcome, at least as far as wet weather commuting. The messenger bag gets damn full with water bottle, lunch, work clothes, and sometimes kung fu uniform & gear, lock, pump, repair stuff, etc. Factoring in a towel, change of shoes & socks, plus keeping all the shit dry (how do you manage that?) seems like too much to fuck with. It'd be nice to keep the cycling going through the rainy season, though. 3-4 months of riding per year is nice, but 8-12 would be better.

... And attention spans have gone to hell in the past ten years.
Have attention spans gone to hell, or have we just learned to focus on attention spans as being a problem?

Onsight soloed Hop on Pop (I think? Whatever the middle 5.8 route is on the Peanut). It's right next to a route called "Pop Goes the Nubbin"--derrrrr, sounds like bomber soloing terrain.

Mockery plus participation equals zero, chump. Wait on the porch for three more days, then maybe Post Jones will let you in.

thank you.
didn;t know how to say it in a rude unfriendly way.
How about: "fucking thanks for nothing, you worthless, pathetic, gumby bitch. Now get the fuck out of here before I stick your head in my chalk pot and spank you with my stick brush!"

Looks like a perfectly stable, trustworthy gentleman.

I like to mutter "fucking pigs" under my breath as they drive away.
