I've been commuting to the supermarket for my groceries bi-monthly, and I usually go back putting 2 plastic bags on either side of the handlebars. A while ago, I almost lost my balance and nearly got into an accident in the intersection, and after that experience it clearly means that I'm not equipped for this.



So, what would be some good gear for doing groceries? Currently looking for panniers in the MEC and REI website but I'm not sure what to choose. Or is there another gear that I should be investing like trailer or something the like?

Thanks in advance.
