    I have to show her off - and her snazzy new trunk bag certainly makes her more visible She also changed gender at some point...

    She is dressed for all-day riding rather than multiple-day riding, but that works! Still wouldn't mind finding blue tires for her, but I really like the tires that she has...if I were an artist I could use reflective paint

    Nice! I love the Arkel products. I have some panniers in that same color.

    Very nice!

    I have the red Arkel Tailrider too, and it is one of my very favorite bike accessories. Holds a ton, so convenient. Brought back Sungold cherry tomatoes from the farmer's market in it today (plus wallet, ballcap, cell phone, bandanna, etc.)

    Enjoy!

    Much to my surprise I've put over 1,200 miles on her since bringing her home from the conversion in mid-June! I am still amazed at how good it feels to ride her. Poor Stella, but the woman who bought her fell in love at first sight so that worked out

    I do like the Arkel bag very much, if I decide that I need panniers will likely save up for matching bags.
