Panniers ... single or double?

[corshamjim]

My bike is that heavy I rarely notice the difference having only one pannier. One pannier only is great if you're going to be wondering around the shops - especially if it converts in to a rucsack. Carrying two panniers around off the bike is a bit of a pita.

My 'money-no-object' favourite pannier for general gadding about is the Arkel Bug.

It looks like they've updated the design and added a range of colours since I got mine too.

Took me a while to work that one out. Doh!

Needless to say I'm not suggesting that you eat a box of cereal, a loaf of bread and a bag of apples all in one go. That would be inpressive, and more than a bit dull as a diet. You wouldn't get fat though.

That website doesn't say a word about choosing the left pannier, but has a whole section on choosing the right one ....
