Anyway, I guess I can get away with describing my outfit:

- Clothing as weather/terrain appropriate.  T-Shirt and Jeans are the
  norm for me in the city.  If it's mid winter, I'll throw polyprop long
  underwear on under the T-Shirt.

- Tricked Out Backpack: Straps galore, one big pocket (which can be
  sinched down to different sizes), space for a waterbottle (with hose),
  and a couple extra pockets on top.  I carry a biketool and a knife in
  the pack for doing any sort of mechanical work -- like opening
  computer cases.

Hardcore backpack.  Then again, I have no fasion sense, and the backpack
is a part of my body ;)
