that sounds like a nice solution. Because I need/want minimum weight when I use Bart (lifting bike) I use a Xootr cross rack which allows one pannier but the entire rack can be removed when I'm not shopping. I have a Timbuk2 Hunchback bag on my Nitto front rack; the combo gets me around 2 grocery bags worth. But neither allows the carrying of a 40lb bag of dog food or 4' long bag of charcoal or costco-sized packs of TP. I'd like to get to the point where I don't use my car at all except when I have passengers; I'm nearly there but not quite...
