The weather was nice, 50, overcast, slight dampness in the sky. It was a nice ride in.

That is, until my pannier decieded it wanted to become suicidal and play in traffic, TWICE! The first time it just jumped off the rear rack and hit the ground. Hrrrrrmmmm.....the second time it jumped, got caught in between the rack and the tire, then hit the ground. Now my pannier has a nice rip in the side, the rubber footing on the bottom is ripped off, and the 'stiff backing' on the pannier is twisted.

These are cheap panniers I got for 30 bucks total two years ago...maybe they've reached the end of their life
