Poseidon Redwood commuter rig in progress — bar end hoods + backpack rack + Kimberlite tires 🚲💨

Still dialing this in, but I’ve been commuting 25 miles a trip on my Poseidon Redwood flat bar and loving it more every week.

A few tweaks make this setup work super well for both commuting and light adventure riding:

Current Setup:

Backpack strapped to rear rack – not fancy, but keeps the sweat off and works surprisingly well

Inboard bar ends – act like drop-bar hoods for hand variety and more aero options (a lifesaver on long flats or in wind)

Kimberlite tires (American Classic) – fast-rolling, stable at speed, and grippy enough for rough pavement and mixed weather

Flat bar cockpit – comfy and easy to manage in traffic

Still Working On:

Fenders

Maybe a front roll or frame bag for longer rides

Honestly impressed by how versatile this bike is—rides like a tank when loaded but doesn’t feel sluggish on the way home. The bar-end hood mod is a keeper, especially with the flat bar ergonomics.

Let me know if anyone else is using the Redwood for commuting or mixed-surface touring—would love to see your builds or hacks!
