+1, but I take a bunch of clothes out of the bag/pannier to make space for groceries. Clothes go in a plastic bag (I usually carry one just in case, or buy one with groceries) and that gets bungeed on top of rear rack. Securing groceries with bungee cords can be tricky, clothes are easy in that regard.

Thanks for all the replies but now I have another question for those of you using only 1 bag, does it make the bike feel off balance with only 1 bag loaded.

Not at all. Ride with a fully loaded Arkel commuter bag on the non drive side every day. And again no, not at all.

Well, I'm convinced that I need to go out and give the single pannier (vs. the garment bag pannier) another try! A longer try, specifically -- maybe I just didn't give myself enough time to get over being conscious of the unbalanced load. I would *love* to not have to fool with those blasted bungee hooks on the garment bag, especially when it gets really cold.

I carry a small towel and when finished my shower, I flick water off with my hands and let the rest evaporate for a minute or two. The towel is hardly wet after I finish. Very cooling.
