I don't know, I grew up without using backpacks (except for hiking and the
military service), so I am never comfortable with them myself.
I agree with Buck that in the summer it may get very uncomfortable.
You can probably get a used rack for next to nothing, or even find a old
junk bike with one you could get a rack off of.
www.performancebike.com has a nice standard rack for only $12.00 new.
