...Wow, that's a great idea on the rear rack. <br /><br />I have one bike I use a trunk bag on. I can use the trunk OR I can use a pannier, and that's kind of a pain. Sometimes it's really nice to be able just to drop a pannier on a rack without fiddling with the trunk bag.Janice in GAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05642298460152468319noreply@blogger.com
