"The problem with panniers …"

[Riley Casey]

he grumbled as he washed the garlic sauce out of his yellow jacket and other bits of assorted detritus pulled from the bottom of his bike pannier “is that they have no really reliable way to carry a plastic dish of chinese tofu with vegetables so that it stays flat. What I really need to invent is a pannier that takes advantage of some sort of foldable fourth dimension.” With this he rung the remaining water from the jacket. As he cast about for a place to hang the jacket where it would dry in time for the trip home thru the dark city he thought “perhaps while I’m at work on the fourth dimension thing I’ll finally get that practical anti-gravity gizmo working too and get all those damned cars off the street.” The yellow jacket dripped on the floor impatiently.

I use the Lock & Lock brand of containers when I want to transport food leak-free. So far, no leaks! They are like tupperware but have a silicon gasket and locking flaps on the sides.

Great for geocaching if lunch goes stale

Think of the pannier as an integral part of the food preparation process. Skip the whole tupperware and plastic wrap stuff. That’s all just gonna end up in the landfill anyways.. Just dump your food directly into the pannier. The bumps along the Custis trail will help mix it up and help get the consistency right. At lunch time just open the top, reach in and grab a handfull and put it in your mouth.

Be careful to get all the food groups in the pannier. Definitely adds a bit of adventure to lunch time.

There’s a Kona Ute cargo bike floating around with a pedal powered blender mounted on the back. Good for crushing ice for drinks or blenderizing pannier detritus for lunch I would think.

I have one for the dummy. I haven’t used it much. I love it that someone out there thought that putting a blender on the back of a bike is a really good thing.
