All my touring to date, which has always been with panniers, has been of the style where you have your bike and panniers in view for the whole day, or at worst you just need to carry the panniers into a pub for lunch, so the issue of carrying luggage off the bike hasn't really arisen for me.
We are now planning a tour with our daughter where we want to break up each day with museums, parks, gardens etc. So the question arises of the best luggage in these circumstances, assuming we don't want to leave everything on unattended bikes.
What is the current best solution for carrying panniers / panniers that convert to backpacks / any other solution? Grateful for all suggestions, recommendations and bright ideas.
