Hi Canadian ladies,

I need your help! I'm building my own panniers and I'm looking to get my hands on 2 pairs of MEC Oversize Pannier Clips (see here (http://www.mec.ca/Products/product_detail.jsp)), but I'm disinclined to become a member for a $13 purchase. Would one of you be willing to buy them and mail them to me, and I'll reimburse you?

I don't think you have to be a member to shop there. We've purchased a few things from them over the years. It's like REI - you just don't get any money back later.

In fact you do need to be a member to buy there, and you don't get money-back later even if you are. :) There are dividends but they are very seldom cashed, normally they just accumulate and support the financial sustainability of the coop, unless one wants to stop being a member.

Kfergos, which ones do you want? The oversize ($6.75) or the regular ($6) pannier clips? You can send me a private message with your address. They seem to be in stock at my local store.

Interesting - I guess Thom must have joined then because we've bought a few things there over the years. They had the best night time cycling vest a few years ago, because it actually had back pockets. :)

At $5 it's not a big investment you would have needed to re-mortgage your house for, so maybe you didn't notice!

I have one of those vests, love it! They have improved them this year, still not showing up in the catalogue but surely will be soon.

I find that they have a really good selection of middle-of-the-road cycling gear. And their bike shorts are my total favourites, at the unbelievable price of $58.

Vive MEC!

MEC has been one of my favorite Canadian discoveries. If only they would build a store in Saskatoon!
