Is there going to be enough room for a large basket of food? not a cart, just a very full hand basket. If anybody else has the lone peaks, what are your opinions? and do they lock down to the rack for security? I'd hate to have them stolen sitting outside the grociery store.
I have had them on the bike and they are perfect. I have had them fully loaded at 40 pounds and they didn't move at all. Yes, you would have room for a basket of food...

As far as security, well they just use normal hooks (better than most hooking systems I have seen). They don't lock. In fact, I don't know of any panniers with locking hooks.

All in all, I give them a 8/10.
