Banjo BrothersFolding Grocery Pannier(Return to Product Page)

Awesome! I love it! I'm using this pannier during the drier months in Portland, OR for, imagine this, getting groceries! A paper grocery bag slides right into the pannier and extends about 5 inches above the top edge of the pannier, giving you probably 25-33% more carrying volume. I often buy a baguette to stick out the top just so I can feel Ooh-la-la-French. Shoulder strap is a nice feature, metal clips attaching pannier to rack are strong, and outside pocket is useful.

Only thing I'd recommend to the company would be to have a second set of snaps on the panniers so that you could ride with it half open, to reduce drag.

I'd imagine I'll need a different pannier for the rainy, winter months, but I will certainly be buying from Banjo Bros again!

This grocery bag carrier easily and securely attaches to my rear rack on my fixed-gear bicycle that I use for errands. One full size grocery bag fits in very easily, although I've even been able to get three full size grocery bags to fit securely enough to ride the ten miles home from the grocery store. When there aren't any groceries - or other stuff - in the carrier it folds up very flat to the rack. It's a fantastic carrier!!

I used this rack bag for a few weeks of grocery shopping by bicycle. It stores and carries a full grocery bag safely while riding and then folds and snaps flat against the rack when not in use. Unfortunately it was stolen from my bike while it was locked and waiting for me while shopping. I had to carry a full bag of groceries while riding 12 miles home on my fixed-gear bike with two other full rack bags,(

I love these sweet little panniers that really aren't so little. These are the perfect grocery getting panniers ever designed! They are sturdy enough to carry a 6 pack with groceries piled on top. They are perfect for items that are taller than the pannier. I mainly purchased these for picking up a CSA and groceries, but they come in handy for almost everything else. They are a snap to use and take a couple seconds to attach to your bike. When not in use (ie. going to the grocery store) they have a strap which keeps them neat and tidy and low profile. The smaller outer pocket (perfect for keys, phone, wallet) and the shoulder strap are wonderful bonus features!

I have a pair of these bags. The bags are well constructed and re-enforced at stress points. I use the bags for shopping, but also to carry various items (like my locks and backpack when commuting). After using various other closed panniers, I decided that, for my purposes, I preferred an open basket style pannier. This allows me to use waterproof bags I already owned (used in camping and water sports) for storage during inclement weather and also to carry items that wouldn't fit in other panniers because they are a little to long.

I like how easily the bags attache to my rack (hook and bungee system). I like that the bags are collapsible, too. Riding to the store, I usually have the bags collapsed and snapped shut, but still on the rack. The shoulder straps for carrying into the store are a nice touch, too. I am very happy with this product.

Easy to mount and remove, just the tick for running errands.
