Swapped my pannier for a backpack one week, never again

Tried carrying a regular backpack on the 14 mile ride into downtown Austin and my back felt like a pretzel by the time I hit the office. The pannier keeps the weight on the rack, so I can actually breathe and not look like I wrestled a pool. Has anyone else tried switching setups and immediately regretted it?

Ditch the pannier and pack the weight high on your shoulders, it builds core strength and keeps your bike more stable.
