Sorry I shouldn't have used the term equipment. I won't be hauling anything huge that I can forsee in the near future, but thank you for the link, the Xtracycle looks VERY useful. "Art Supplies", "School Supplies" and "Wargame Miniatures" is more in the cards than anything.

Basically an 18x24 portfolio with drawing pads and such inside, or depending on the time/place/class an 11x17 or 8x10 portfolio w/ supplies and a tool box or small case with relevant supplies inside. Textbooks would also need to be transported and I'd like to use the panniers to carry them to take some of the weight off my back.

Miniature wargames = just a soft "army case". Like this:



Fragile stuff. I presume I'd be able to just affix that to a rack with bungee cords, though.
