Because of my MTB interest I have acquired the backpack habit. Nice Osprey pack with a couple of tubes, co2, basic tools, a bladder, etc. It works for me to put in the basics for single speed rides, a half day on the MTB trails, and my current road bike.
I used to be concerned about having what I needed when I went for a ride, now I've go the bases covered , with one bag, for most of my riding days for whatever I may be riding. I can offer help to other riders and pick up litter I may find on the trail, especially if I'm off road.
When I ride I am almost always gone for 2 hours minimum and I can handle most any issue that may crop up.
I like my bikes light and spare, I don't mind a backpack though.
