The backpack I'm using for over 15 years is still holding well enough but I feel like I've grown out of it. It was fine for a good while but my use-case has shifted dramatically. Nowadays I use it for holding all my bike stuff and for some emergency storage whenever my shopped items don't fit in my bags. The stuff I have in my backpack right now gets more in the way lately because the items are oddly shaped for the compartments they are. A poncho, umbrella, small first-aid kit, repair tools, hand pump, tote bags, paper tissues, N95-masks, pens. I wish I could sew one myself.

@adiwan I’ve been rotating my packs and what I carry recently as well. Seems every week I think of something else to throw in “just in case”.

@awl I use my backpack almost exclusively when I use my bike. So my needs are pretty much the same all the time. On good weather days I don't need to carry an umbrella or poncho but they will be definitely not there when I actually need them if I don't have it always packed. I hope I don't overpack. I was once thinking about carrying a set of new chain and hoses but these might be overkill as I would need more time to fix that than to push the bike back home.

@awl I just have good ol' ordinary rim brakes that are attached to a bowden tube. Also my hub gearing brakes when backpedaling.
