This thread may have gotten me inspired to get eggs and bacon from the
local butchery. I just carried 'em in a plastic bag in a messenger bag.
Despite the bag slipping and hitting my legs and the bumpy, pothole-y path,
they made it all intact.

I bagged three birds! Our store called us and offered these turkeys at a
price we could not refuse. 60 pounds is at the limit for a comfortable rear
load on the Hunqaillar. Gets a wee bit awkward treading a line through the
washboard. Sardonic grin. One bird in each pannier (20libs fits, but

Give it a go, Michael! The only issue I've had is complaints I bruised the
bananas. I haven't figured out how to pack them securely yet without
bouncing or squarshing them.

Hey Steve, sorry for not responding earlier! Those dang jobs!
-the xs saddle sack in the photo is a first generation and so it doesn't have a
zipper. Pros: very easy to do one-handed from the saddle opening maneuver!
Reflective strip is excellent. Cons: it gapes open a little with any weight or
Interesting post, Deacon. I live 6+ miles from the nearest grocery store
and the road between is not smooth, so I am usually reluctant to transport
anything more fragile than corn on the cob, crusty bread, or Zinfendel. In
the winter I worry about things freezing and in the summer, melting.
Steve,
I used to run a XS as a handlebar bag. I found that weight up that high
does effect handling, but was still very handleable. Because of my
sensitivity due to vertigo, I much prefer the weight low, in a TrunkSack.
It carries my food on bikepacking trips.
I would say it is well worth
Liesl, that looks like a loaded Saddlesack XS on the front. Do you know about
how much weight you carry in it, and does it affect the handling? Asking since
I have a Bleriot and am thinking I will put the XS on the front when I get (and
use) a larger bag for the rear. Thanks,
Steve

Someone had wanted a photo of the Hunqapillar loaded with groceries. Here
it is, I'm guessing with 50-60 pounds between the panniers and the box.

You know life is pretty amazing when you get this as part of your extended
grocery run!
That was I who asked. If you've really got 60 lb on it, then you're a good
15 lb better than my max; though *I* carried that 45 lb on a light,
531-framed racing bike, on a 12 oz Fly rack, up a very, very steep 4/10
mile hill in a 67 fixed gear. Hah!
Seriously, kudos. That racing bike, the '73
Patrick, I meant to weigh it when I got home, but my elves were fast and
hungry. Estimate based on previous camping loads that total 40 pounds, and
this was significantly heavier. And I owe you a big thank you -- I think
your extended grocery runs inspired me to figure out a way I could do that
Deacon, grocery/PO runs make up at least 3/4 of my riding; I find that a
goal and destination, even if largely artificially imposed, make riding
more enjoyable.
I envy you your bucolic routes, though.

Hey All,
I wrap them in that plastic bubble wrap stuff then put them on top of
whetever else is there. Use the enginering of the egg cartoon too so
orientate them as they would be shipped to the store.

Those Rivendells can do amazing things...scrambling eggs can now be added
to the list. I'm happy you were able to salvage the one and you enjoyed
delicious cake!

You know I was just about to start transporting eggs by bike this week. I
have a coworker who has her own chickens. Any recommendations for anyone
on how to carry them? I have a rear pannier and wear a messenger bag on my

I would recommend giving the chickens their own kiddie trailer with the
seats removed... especially if they are free-range chickens... :)
