After having read a lot of reviews of grocery panniers online, I was a little worried about the "heel strike" problem (where the back of your foot hits the bottom of the panniers as you pedal). However, when I took my super fancy new gear for a trial run, I had no problems. Sometimes having small feet comes in handy. Actually, it was my husband's great installation. I know he put a lot of care into adjusting and testing, and he's a perfectionist at these things. Not having the weight of all the groceries on my back was so much more comfortable. And the panniers snap off or fold flat when not in use (not that I've been using my bike for anything else lately). These are perfect! And just so you know, this won't be turning into a fitness blog anytime soon, but I just had to share my excitement!
Indeed a sweet gift! What a great gift too! I think definitely not a fitness blog (although I'd still read it) but a blog of brilliance! Why? Because by biking to the store, you don't have to take the kids and you get exercise! Brilliant my friend, just brilliant. Happy Birthday!
