Fellow bike commuters,
If you are in the market for a courier bag or panniers for commuting here are some to consider. Go to
http://www.sierratradingpost.com
and do a brand name search on Ortlieb. They have a couple of courier bags for $30 and $40 and Ortlieb Mini Biker Light panniers for $90. Ortlieb is one of the top names in bike bags. All their stuff is waterproof. I have been using them for commuting for over a year now and love them. Most days one is more than enough. I also bought an Ortlieb courier bag for days when I ride a bike without a rack. Works great. I was lucky and got the panniers for $60 on clearance. If you want to take a gamble, the $90 price might come down over the next month or two. But they might sell out, too. You never know. Sierra Trading Post is kind of a liquidator, selling year or two old models at great prices. I buy from them often. They have a lot of great deals on good brand bike shoes and other cycling stuff. Check it out.
FWIW,
Raymond
