Thanks for the reply guys..
I looked up on trailers, and thinking of investing one of those cargo trailers next month.. I haven't checked the folding baskets in my LBS, but it seems promising.. As of now after searching in nearby stores the one I'm eyeing right now is the
Freight Cycler Pannier in the MEC website..
Sorry if it seems to be in the wrong section, the reason why I'm asking this is because I'm also planning on getting panniers as to avoid having a sweaty back since summer is near.. The
Avenir Metro Pannier looks a good all-rounder and cheap, will compare it to the
Axiom Appalachian in the LBS..

I live in Vancouver, so weather-resistance is another factor for me..

any basket or rack mounted bag will be a 100 percent improvement over hanging bags on your handlebars
Because when I do my groceries bi-monthly expect in those plastic bags a soda 12-pack, 4L milk, 4kg rice, bathing & cleaning supplies, etc. I leave it to your imagination how I balance it..

Good for you, unfortunately I'm terrible with DIY stuff..
