On our first trip to europe post college, we brought backpacks and walked around with these tall things on us that would end up hitting people in the subways. Tired shoulders were also common as a result. I remember DanceJ asking why we couldn't have brought roller bags instead and we replied "Because you're supposed to be backpacking through europe!"
So since then we've gone to europe with roller bags and now I remember why they are evil. The paris metro has lots of stairs. And no escalator. Now I remember why we backpacks were a good idea. I am now cursing my 40 lb roller bag. Of course this could have been solved by packing a little lighter.
