>what is unsprung weight?Your knees act as suspension. Strapping as much garbage on your bike through frame bags, baskets, and racks (even if they're based) increases unsprung weight effecting handling greatly, not only that but because bicycles are gravitaxis vehicles
>what is joules of energy?With more mass placed on the pedals, you're effectively increasing your joules, increasing torque at the crank.
Backpacks are based.
