  I found carradice great for laptop. I’m not precious about mine because it’s the work’s laptop and it’s quite solid anyway, if I was I think a laptop sleeve would bring some peace of mind. Front pannier worked well too but the rack is attached more permanently to the bike.

  Handlebar bags are good for things that can be stuffed and compressed. So clothes and towel and rain gear are good in that regard, although you may find that your work clothes need to be folded and packed carefully or they end up crumpled. A lunch box might be harder to fit.

  For rain gear, if your commute is 30 km you may end up taking the jacket on and off? If so the other thing about handlebar bags is that they're a pain to get stuff in and out of quickly.

  If I had a bike dedicated to commuting I'd consider front rack and pannier(s). I don't so I prefer the carradice + bagman support approach (the bagman support is quick and easy to get on and off the bike as opposed to the front rack which was a total pain when I tried it)
