I'll never be your beast of burden

I'm fond of cursing people who drive SUVs solo; I'm always thinking, "Why does someone need an overgrown truck to pick up a couple of bags of groceries?" Well, the thing is, neither do I. Especially since I've had a couple of really nice panniers for some time now.



It's difficult to tell the scale, but they're the size of two large paper sacks, maybe a bit more. They worked great. I also worked out a route to the supermarket that is relatively flat--nothing as complicated as The Wiggle, but it does avoid some hills while I'm getting my bike legs back.
