I rode with a shoulder bag for awhile when I first got my bike and it gave me stiff shoulders and neck, somethin' awful on extended rides. For that reason alone, I highly recommend a saddle bag or two. Just sayin', if you've not ridden much with a bag hangin' on your person.

+1, search shoulder bags.

besides if you decide to climb a tower someday you can use it to bring lots of 30rd clips.
