Bikes are great, they are better for the environment, a good source of exercise as well as easier and cheaper to find a place to park than a car, the downside is they do not come with a boot to store all your shopping in. The Wayside Backpack and Pannier from Blackburn has been designed to be suitable for carrying your gear both on and off the bike, it isn’t the lightest of things at 929g when empty but chances are you aren’t going to be racing in the Tour de France with all your shopping in tow.
