Yesterday while I was unexpectedly at the bike shop getting my flat tire fixed, I decided to purchase a few things that I had been thinking about getting. I’ve been wanting to have the flexibility to be able to carry things with me without needing my back pack. For example, one weekend I was out riding and came along a great farmer’s market, but with no way to carry my purchases I passed it by. I also would love a place to store extra water, food, a book etc – depending on the mood!
I purchased (and had them install) a rack that goes over my rear tire. I also got a double pannier that hangs down on either side of each tire. It’s wonderful and does hold quite a bit. I can really do some good grocery runs with my bike now. I feel like I have pretty much everything I need. Most importantly, the extra tube for the tire in case of another flat and all the gear to fix it. 😉
WooHoo! I’m excited about my new gear!
