Bicycle Panniers Are An Excellent Way To Take The Load Off Of Your Back.
Bicycle panniers are a great alternative to backpacks This is also consistent with the concept of adding weight to the bicycle and not the rider. Panniers are similar to saddlebags on a motorcycle but much lighter and more versatile. They are usually made from nylon and most are waterproof or at least water-repellent. Often they are sold in pairs to balance the weight on the bike but one pannier can work if not overloaded.
They can be mounted over the front or rear rack using hooks, straps, or some form of locking system.(rear mounts are much more common). With easy removal, and carrying straps, they can be super convenient for touring, commuting, or just shopping.
