Out of curiosity, Rick - what sorts of bags/panniers/etc. did you use with this load? And how did it handle when loaded up this much?
Welcome to the club, but it doesn't count if you don't photograph it.
Assuming no rain, you can simply use paper grocery bags until they wear out.
I used the freeloaders. Cinching the straps took a little practice. They are a little different from what I am used to working with.
I used the reusable grocery bags that are being sold at Heinen's. I have not found a better bag yet. They are the same size as the paper bags, but they have a plastic bottom. Very sturdy.
I looked almost identical to the picture on the Xtracyle homepage.
