Thanks everyone! I've thought about this endlessly, and for me, using a buggy or trailer would involve major complications in the shuttle process. I will just have to get a front rack to add to my rear rack, and have front and back sets of panniers. The smallish panniers I use on the back now, could move to the front rack. I need, however, a large rear pannier then.
Next challenge : which panniers? I have seen Jandd and think their mtn panniers are lovely, but they're spendy for sure. Does anybody have a suggestion or opinion about suitable panniers for shopping purposes? Not interested in the floppy 'grocery bag' style, but something that is very durable and not too spendy.
I'll look like a regular touring cyclist ! Panniers all packed and touring my home town...
