Just wanted to say thanks for reviewing this – I’m looking at getting the smaller BB backpack & all the reviews I’ve found were by men… I’m a somewhat petite chick.

Just curious, how’s the pack a year later? How is it on back & shoulders over time?

Love the site.

I love their stuff… For the past several years I’ve been using their waterproof pannier…. and just recently I’ve been using it exclusively – no more backpack on my aching back (for now)! Next — their grocery pannier complete with the shoulder strap to tote around the store.

Jack-this was just brought my to my attention (they actually sent a link to your blog!). This could change me life! Now I need to get some banjo brothers panniers…

Those are great backpacks…as is everything else Banjo Brothers makes. I am a huge fan of their messenger bag, too.

As for attaching panniers to your current bike, save your money and time by skipping the bike builder and look no further than your local hardware store…p-clamps are the way to go (and for only a couple bucks):

Meant to ask you about this when I saw you this weekend — it’s a good-looking bag! Great to hear it’s so functional, too, though I hope you can sort out a rack solution soon. A week’s worth of groceries is too much to be carrying on your back!
