Easy on, easy off grocery bag

Pros

    Cons

      Best Uses

        I purchased this last week on my way to Wisconsin's North Woods and used this clip on shopping bag daily. I use it like the "green" canvas bags that are widely available. There was room for a gallon of milk and plenty of other stuff. I am too cheap to buy two of these and was a little concerned that I'd be off balance with all the groceries on the same side, but it was not an issue. The bag was easy to adjust to my rack (with a small phillips head screw driver)and is easy to detach and bring inside with me so I don't buy more than I can carry. The only con is the price, I could have bought 20-40 regular canvas bags for the price of this shopping bag/pannier. (A previous reviewer noted problems with a wide rack, I wonder if they noticed the instruction to remove a blue ring for wide racks.)

        I have an earlier version of these panniers. They have been very durable and have performed very well. I use them primarily for shopping but I also carry my briefcase in them for work. I recommend them.

        Nice pannier but...

        By Beth from Coralville

        from Coralville, IA

        Pros

        • Attaches firmly to rack
        • Easy to carry

        Cons

        • Won't fit on my rack

        Best Uses

          This pannier looks great and seems to have a great system to keep it attached to your bike rack... but it will only fit on racks with extremely thin supports. I am using a Topeak rack and trunk bag and wanted to attach the pannier as well, but the "hooks" on the bag won't fit over any of the tubes on my rack.

          If it will fit on your rack, this grocery pannier would be great, you can securely attach the pannier "hooks" and adjust all of the attachment points to fit your rack.

          Better, but more expensive

          By PaBiker

          from Reading, PA

          Site Member

          Pros

          • Flexible

          Cons

          • Pricey

          Best Uses

            Only started using these the other day. I used the older ones for years (and wore out a couple of pairs while I was at it). This newer model is clearly superior -- its adjustable mounts allow it to be mounted safely and securely to more types of racks (I had some trouble with the older ones), and the carrying straps is a cool feature. But, hey, at nearly twice the price of the old ones, I don't know if it's worth the improvements. . . . And they _didn't_ improve the feature that bothers me the most -- the lack of "stops" to keep the diagonal metal support rods from slipping through the clips that hold them; I'm always having to slip those back in, which is annoying. Granted, I probably use these regularly beyond their design capacity, routinely loading full and heavy grocery bags into them -- which gets me to what is _really_ great about these bags: they are the perfect size to slip a standard size paper grocery bag (or an REI reusable shopping bag) in and out of. Makes it a breeze to use your bike for grocery shopping, and it effectively raises the carrying capacity of the pannier (as a standard grocery bag is well taller than the pannier). Bottom line (I have to admit in the end): I love this bag!
