brought my panniers to work today cause I was going to go to wal-mart at lunch. My first bicycle shopping trip. Went there, they have lots of bike racks and lots of bikes already locked to it, that was nice. Locked it up, had the lady at customer service hold my panniers and helmet behind the desk so I don't get tackled when I leave the store.

I seem to have almost overshopped. Some clothes, an electric pump to inflate rafts and 24 sodas. Soon as I put those panniers back on the bike, i knew priority #1 was keeping the thing 100% vertical, even a slight lean to the bike would make it fall over. I got back to work OK though, and am now thinking that lunchtime errands aren't out of the question when I bike to work.
