grocery panniers?
just curious, are these
http://www.jandd.com/detail.asp?PRODUCT_ID=FGBP strong enough to stuff full of liquids? say, if I were out and about and felt like picking up a half case of beer or similar? I know, just go to the store and look at 'em, but the only place I know of that actually sells 'em around here is the L.L. Bean store in the mall, which I try to avoid like the plague (actually, I don't mind LLB even if they're pricey but I abhor malls and crowds etc.) nate -- replace "roosters" with "cox" to reply. http://members.cox.net/njnagel |

Per Nate Nagel:
just curious, are these http://www.jandd.com/detail.asp?PRODUCT_ID=FGBP strong enough to stuff full of liquids? say, if I were out and about and felt like picking up a half case of beer or similar? Been using one on the right side of my utility bike for about five years now. Heaviest load I carry is two one-gallon jugs of spent motor oil when I take it to the car repair shop for disposal. No problems at all and I like it: easy on, easy off, shoulder strap.... Seems like I saw them at the local Performance Bicycles shop at quite a reasonable price a few months ago. -- PeteCresswell |

Thanks, I do have a Performance quasi-nearby, I keep forgetting about it though. Last time I was in there the guy seemed to think that I needed a new carbon fiber road bike, I told him that I could lose 10 lbs. and keep my old bike and it'd work out about the same, he didn't quite know what to say to that nate -- replace "roosters" with "cox" to reply. http://members.cox.net/njnagel |

That appeals to my frugal nature and actually looks quite practical... but it's just *so* fredly... nate -- replace "roosters" with "cox" to reply. http://members.cox.net/njnagel |

Per Nate Nagel:
http://www.jandd.com/detail.asp?PRODUCT_ID=FGBP I would add that I'm using the one without the "optional mesh hood". Seems to me like a cover would downgrade the usefulness of it ford me. I keep a couple plastic grocery bags stuffed in the side pocket in case of heavy rain and some sort of water-sensitive load. -- PeteCresswell |

Best of available products for this application. However, 12 pounds of weight regularly may tax the seam strength on normal=potholed city streets and up/down curbs especially for aggressive riders. (maybe bunji the beer on top of the cargo rack?) On a smooth road, no reservations. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |

I have one I've used for a decade or so. It's still in fine shape despite much unremarkable duty and a few truly heroic loads. A half rack of beer is unremarkable duty for that bag; it will take two six packs of bottles sitting flat on the bottom. Twelve beers, a ten- pound bag of basmati rice, and as many cans of beans and tomatoes as I can cram in the remaining gaps will make the thing sag and sway, but not fail to perform as expected. I usually use that bag clipped to the crossbar of a motorcross or BMX bar, sort of like a butch granny basket. It folds flat when empty, which makes more sense when used as a pannier than as a handlebar basket. My wife uses it on her rear rack. That bag's strengths are also its weaknesses; it's simple, easy to load, and easy to poke around in, but on the other hand its contents are in plain view and out in the weather. I have an assortment of different panniers to choose from, but ever since I built a pair of kitty litter bucket panniers, they have become my first choice for most occasions. I reckon their extreme fredliness serves as a sort of passive anti-theft measure, inasmuch as folks won't likely steal or ransack something they don't even want to be seen with. Chalo |

"fredliness" passed into common usage has it? Please explain your meaning and how derived. |
