This is an odd request but hopefully someone will have some pearls of wisdom.


I want to buy my partner a decent bag suitable for cycling to work for his birthday next week. It needs to be attractive, visible, not too bulky yet have enough space for change of clothes, lock etc. Anyone know of a good brand to look at??? Willing to spend up to ?100.

Found these in the for sale section - altura are good.

Alternatively http://www.ortlieb.co.uk/


Personally I've managed OK with a cheap pair of panniers from Decathlon but perhaps that's because I'm a tight-wad :)

Pannier bags are best IMO but he'll need a rack if he doesn't already have one.


Ortlieb are fab but expensive, Altura cheaper but still good quality and hard-wearing, and those two brands seem to account for most of the pannier bags I see around. I have one of these:

which I use for daily commuting. It will hold a change of clothes and a file of papers, plus mini pump, tool, spare tube etc. If he needs to take anything more bulky he'll want something a bit bigger.

    • Why do you say "that hasn't and won't happen"? - It has not happened and I do not believe it will. Why do you not ask for a key, if you would "love this task"?  I have requested a key but have not had any reply to my email. Who would you suggest I ask? She still works locally. If you don't know her, I can ask her how you can get a key - Please do. Thanks. There is no reason why the noticeboard should only contain councillors' details (although surely it is important that those are publicised locally?) Why do you say it will contain nothing more? Because it does not contain anything more - see noticeboard (has been there quite a few months now!). Do you know why the notice board has been removed from outside ED station? No sadly I don't - poss during pavement works?
