sorry for being foggy, I'm not native English speaker. Yes, you've
read me correctly, I'm commuting to work with my laptop in the
backpack eack workday, all year, approx. 2500 km till now with this
particular Thinkpad T60.

Only one minor correction: there's not a "laptop carrier" inside the
backpack as you wrote, but it's the standard IBM laptop-backpack
alone, the one with IBM and Thinkpad logo on it. We can choose between
a courier bag that you put on one of your shoulders and this backpack
model when we get the laptop from the IT helpdesk. I went for the
backpack because of the bike. But it is standard accessory of the
laptop like the mouse or the AC adapter. Sorry cannot describe it any
better.

The only extra protection I do is to put the laptop into a waterproof
plastic (polyethylene) bag (the one you get in shops for free) first,
before putting it into the backpack.

Yes, no apparent malfunction of the laptop till now, only slightly
more than normal dust on the keyboard, but that can be brushed or
vacuum-cleaned from time to time.

I'd be more concerned of the bike parking out while I'm in the library
than the laptop while riding.

Have a nice day,
  Peter
