disappointed rant..

To stay relative to the OP's story I have this to share.

I've been doing grocery shopping with a retired two kid trailer. On my way home one day, the hitch clamp came undone in the middle of a somewhat busy intersection. I had a full load in the trailer, and everything went flying. There were potatoes rolling, loaves of bread.... Meanwhile, there were drivers in the intersection that were totally freaked: "OMG, do you have a baby in there?". No, just potatoes. I'm scrambling all over the pavement gathering my groceries....

Oh my, that's quite a story! That happened to me with panniers full of groceries. They were the cheap-o grocery bag panniers that fold flat when not in use. Eggs are not pretty when they fall onto the street. It was the first time I used those panniers, too, and they were advertised as grocery panniers.
