Heading to work via Roswell road, I was taking it slow. An hour earlier I have a very nice eggs benedict. I was carrying my Brooks Brothers double-breasted in my rack trunk. I will be pitching a client today. Just enjoying my commute and looking forward to the sales call. Spinning on my small ring and going about 8 mph. Up ahead, I saw this dude on a MTB with a his work cloths in a plastic shopping bag dangling from his handlebar. I just rode towards him. 50 yards or so later he, he pulls into a Quicktrip. Mind you it is a convenience store. You don't just stop there for a rest. I let this dude just pull in. Well it was like he was waiting for me. He comes out with a couple of donuts a candy bar and a Pepsi. He sorted of grinned at me. I nodded and he looked at my quick release seatpost rack and kinda chuckled. I said hi and he did the same thing. He kinda looked at my trunk bag and smirked. This went on for 3 or 4 seconds. I got very annoyed. Now there's a Krispy Kreme coming up. The next turn is the back of the parking lot, I whip over and through a puddle with my hardcore freddy fenders. Stood up and attacked.
Ready for some cubic inches? In 30 seconds, the Topeak MTX DBX fold down panniers flop down and the expanding top is up. I was at 1500 cubic inches. About 1 minute later, I've attached the Delta handebar bag I carry for extra storage and transferred the Brooks Brothers. 5 minutes later I'm loaded up with 6 bagels, 2 dozen mixed, a cube o'joe and 1 dozen hot glazed. Surprisingly he's still half smiling. Since his plastic shopping bag was tattered I knew he wouldn't be able to expand any further. I picked up some napkins and shoved them in my jersey pocket. Looked back and he was starting to melt. By this time I was about to grab the cream cheese and mount up. I hope he wasn't too humilated to work today.
