I got some from Lidl for £15.
They seem to work pretty well, easy to fit with a detachable rucksack.
The main reason I like them at the moment is that they saved my bike from a nasty scraping when I hit a load of spilt diesel and the wheels slid straight out from under me last week.
I held the front of the bike up by the handlebars while the panniers held up the back, and we all skidded smoothy along the diesel spill supported mainly by my arse!! The panniers are a bit scuffed, but the bike is entirely undamaged (unlike my confidence
). Good job I wasn't going very fast at the time...
I'm never going to ride without panniers again
Regards,
Elephants
