Superb Practical shopping panniers from Holland!
These paired panniers have 46.5 litres of capacity which is plenty of room for stashing 4 supermarket shoping bags - possibly more. Their boxy construction is great for stuffing all sorts into but when you are running empty they simply fold flat against the bike.
The panniers strap easily and simply to the pannier rack of any bike. A plastic backing board on each pannier allows the panniers to be secured to the sides of the pannier rack too which means they don't swing out when cornering. Each pannier is constructed from heavy duty PVC tarpaulin type material - very strong and also waterproof.
Several safety features are built into the bag - there's plenty of reflective strips for nightime visibility. The bags are also specially designed so that bikes that have a rear light or reflector on the pannier rack don't have these obscured by the connecting straps across the top of the rack.
Overall size of each pannier is 38 x 34 x 18 cm
Colours available - BLACK or SILVER
Red Dot Design Awards are not handed out without good reason! These bags deserve the award! One day everyone will have a bike with one of these on the rack and we'll all reminisce about the olden days when we went to Waitrose in the BMW X5....
These panniers (sold as a Pair) are made from super robust, waterproof, cotton canvas (like the cotton duck Carradice luggage). They have a boxy construction but when empty fold flat against the rack out of the way. The lid is secured by two plastic buckles on each bag. Capacity for the pair of panniers is 47.5 litres - plenty big enough for a trip to Waitrose or Happy Shopper. Night time visibility is good thanks to reflective strips.
What makes these Practical bags award winners is their lockable clip on-clip off system that folds into a comfortable carrying handle - FastRider call this the FLQC - Fast Lock Quick Carrier. This means you can lock the panniers to the bike (2 keys suplied) or simply unlock it and pick both panniers up at once using the folding handle (that doubles as the joining plate for the two bags) and walk into the shops or office with them. We say office - because we think that these would make a great briefcase for the business person about town on their bike - they look that good!
If you have a rear light or reflector mounted to your pannier rack - fear not - the bags are designed so not to obscure these when in use!
Dimensions for each bag are - 39 x 33 x 18 cm
Colour - BLACk only.

These Panniers simply sling over any standard rear pannier rack and secure underneath with simple effective straps. Outward swing is prevented by the small tongues provided which integrate with the sides of your rack.

It's what mums (and dads) want to do - go shopping with the tiddlers AND by bike. But it's not always easy being able to fit panniers and a child seat to the rear of a bike at the same time - the legs of the child seat often get in the way and sometimes the base of the child seat means that there isn't actually room for panniers to fit. Not so with these excellent panniers from Dutch company FastRider!
These panniers (sold as a Pair) are made from super robust, waterproof, nylon - they are built to last.. They have a boxy construction but when empty fold flat against the rack out of the way. The lid is secured by two plastic buckles on each bag. There's a zipped pocket on the front for quick access and also a mesh pocket on the front for quick access to hankies and sweets etc. The capacity of each bag can be varied by the zipper which runs around the whole outside of the bag.
The front sides of each pannier is cleverly slashed backwards to mimic the angle of the legs on the child seat you have (these bags work really well with GMG and Bobike rear seats). The way the bags sling over your pannier rack is also clever - two simple straps mean you are not struggling to find space on your rack for fiddly click-in pannier mountings like you might find on inferior bags. Don't worry - you can use these bags without a child set being in place so when the little-uns are old enough to ride themself, your panniers will still be working hard for you!
