Pannier Recommendations
  • I ended up going for the banjo brothers, waterproof pannier, in case anyone was curious. I really appreciate all of your recommendations, it really helps narrow the field down.

    I ended up going for it because it was waterproof as well as relatively inexpensive ($65). There were some concerns on Amazon about it popping off the back, but so far I haven’t had any issues with this. You could probably fit a small briefcase in it, but it only fits mine when the top is open, which kind of defeats the purpose of the waterproofing, so I’ll probably need to downsize or just move stuff into the bag. It does pretty well for grocery store runs and I haven’t run into any issues with it. I’m balancing the bike or having heel strikes. Certainly not as nice as some of the others that people mentioned on here, but certainly a good starter bag.

  • Pannier Recommendations

    Hey, I was wondering if you all had any recommendations for panniers. I was planning on mainly using it for commuting (I use a leather brief case now) and relatively small grocery/store runs. It’s pretty rainy where I live so I was thinking something more waterproof. I’ve been reading the wirecutter, etc reviews but it seems kinda hard to narrow down for a first time buyer

    Additionally can I get away with just one or do you really need two for balance issues?

    Thanks!
