Well, I found of panniers I like very much. I think they were about $40 each, which seems high but similar to the prices I've seen on others. They are made by Inertia Designs but I couldn't find examples on their website. Here's some pics. There's the standard shot of the whole bike, the shot of DD trying to entice Carly Nicole into becoming my first passenger, and a shot of the bike with one bag open, one closed so you can see both views. Bought my first groceries last night (embarrassing to admit I bought a liter of root beer and some potato chips ) Bags worked fine, no heel bumping at all. And VERY easy to mount / dismount.
