how do you like it/them? I had a pair of those and returned them because they were a bit on the small side, and I really didn't want to carry 2 bags. Not to mention them not being waterproof (it rains a lot here).


I finally got my courage to put the Ortlieb Bike Shopper bag and LOVE it!! I stuff so much in it (lunch in heavy glass containers, clothes, books, groceries) and aside from feeling just a little bit unstable at times, it's been great not having anything on my back anymore. Ortlieb really is the leader in panniers, so easy to put on, take off, and the fact it's waterproof is a godsend.
