I use the terracycle midship rack

t_Code=BachRack&Category_Code=R

and Arkel briefcase pannier.

Neither is the cheapest solution around (I think the weak dollar has added to
the Arkel's price lately), but worth it if you commute by bike regularly. I've
been using both almost daily for several years. Only problem has been a cracked
buckle, which Arkel quickly and happily replaced

I don't carry a laptop regularly, but having it low and centered when I do is a
good thing. But if you get the rack, lots of pannier options are available.

I'm also a handle-bar mirror guy, the Evo lite works for me.
