You can add a bit of discarded estate agent sign plastic sheet cut to size placed in the base and/or wheel side of the bag - this will help it keep its shape under load and prevent it wafting into the rear wheel. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19037#post-288501 Tue, 07 Aug 2018 20:51:12 +0000 wingpig 288501@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Bag for life looped round the side of the rack before putting things in it, or a bag for life with a Vaude QMR hook attached. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19037#post-288498 Tue, 07 Aug 2018 20:15:50 +0000 Juanito 288498@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I've got a green guru free rider that I love. I can chuck a rucksack in it on the commute and if I pop by the shops on the way home I can just put the rucksack on and put the shopping in instead. But it's just a glorified grocery pannier, there are other brands available. Amazon UK imported mine for me. </p> <p><a href="https://www.greengurugear.com/collections/bike-gear/products/freerider-31l-pannier" rel="nofollow">https://www.greengurugear.com/collections/bike-gear/products/freerider-31l-pannier</a></p> <p>I tried bikezacs, they were okay, they fold up nice and small, but didn't fill me with confidence for a big load (I semi regularly have to carry home 10kg of rice). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19037#post-288497 Tue, 07 Aug 2018 20:13:27 +0000 steveo 288497@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Ah, I half remember that from the last thread a few years ago. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19037#post-288493 Tue, 07 Aug 2018 18:40:32 +0000 Stickman 288493@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>If it's just light shopping then a Bikezac is what you need. I've got a couple, one of which is always folded up on my rack. </p> <p><a href="https://bikezac.com" rel="nofollow">https://bikezac.com</a></p> <p>Electron Wheels at Tollcross sell them; also New Leaf at Marchmont. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19037#post-288492 Tue, 07 Aug 2018 18:37:02 +0000 steveo 288492@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I've got a 15l Carradice Penrith pannier which I like very much and it's <em>just</em>big enough for my normal commute. However if I need something from the shops on the way home then I struggle unless I've got planned ahead and taken one of my other bags (Nelson or altura panniers).</p> <p>Any suggestions? </p>
