I suggested a rack and basket, though a saddle bag is preferable to a pannier most of the time. Baskets, like this one http://www.flickr.com/photos/todophoto/4598728499/in/photostream/ are cheap and can carry backpacks, camera bags, groceries, all of the above. Carradice bags have become expensive and hard to find in the US. That's a shame, because they're really very nice. -- Scott Loveless Camp Hill, PA USA http://www.twosixteen.com/fivetoedsloth/ __o _'\<,_ (*)/ (*) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
