I've got a lovely pair... of panniers

One of the (many) issues about cycling to work is that I used to carry a backpack with a change of clothes/purse/accoutrements etc. But when you're cycling 9 miles, it makes your back quite sweaty which just gets a bit icky when you're going to work.

But for my birthday at the end of April, my lovely bunch of friends clubbed together and bought me a pair of panniers, the rack that goes on the bike and paid for the bike mechanic's fee to put them all together. Again from the fab folk at Fudge & Sons.

Look now, aren't they shiny...
