THE BOTTOMLESS PANNIERS

We are on another shortish getaway with the RV (current name is “TwoSeek”, but that is the fourth name we are trying out), I will write another post later telling a bit more of our adventure over these few days, but felt a need to post this one after today’s little bike ride into LaConner. It deserves its own post.

We rode from our campsite at Thousand Trails into town for some ambling around and to have lunch. We spotted this place that is having a going out of business sale where everything is 50% off. Susan has an idea for using a basket to fit under somewhere and she can keep all her maps, brochures and the myriad of other information she collects on each (and every) trip we do,

So we stopped and she found something she thinks will work. Nice shop along the Main Street of LaConner.

Please note those green panniers on the rear of her bike. She never goes anywhere without them, and whenever we are anyplace people ask how far we are traveling, Just around town I say. As is often the case, these extra large panniers did come in handy. 

She found the basket she wanted. How will she strap it onto her bike? I neglected to snap a photo of her loading the basket, so took some of her unloading it back at camp.

Here it comes...

Not quite out yet...

Wait for it...

This whole thing fit into the pannier with no part hanging out or needing to be lashed. 

And so we continue to do any bike rides with those panniers because ... you never know ;’-)
