It's not the bike on the bus, I do that frequently, it's the rack on the bike and the panniers on the rack. My connected panniers would require a rack with a platform, which would interfere with the brakes, causing all manner of headaches. I was just toying with the idea, and it turns out it won't work, so that's fine. And no, I don't really want to spend $$$ to replace the panniers I just bought. C'est la vie.

Edit: I know! I'll buy a new bike! ::cackles madly:: Where do you find a 2008 Trek 520 in small?
