DONOB.. please, please, please take some pics of that front rack that you have with and without the paniers attached. I was just today looking at CETMA front racks and thought I was all set to carry nice loads up front, but then found out that those racks won't work with our bikes because of the shocks. I did not want to use panniers up front, but it is looking like I'm going to have to go that route.

And the Power Grips to keep your foot conveniently on the pedal, the little outlet tester I carry so I can check whether publicly accessible outlets have power before unpacking, the Loghouse Rain Cape to keep a commuter dry .....
HOLY SMOKES!!! Take pics of that cruisin' machine asap!! And everything you've mentioned I would love to hear how and where and all the details. Please share with us.
