What can you tell me about racks & panniers?
I've only used them once and we're talking 10 years ago.
My friend is an avid climber who has jkust started cycling. His current thought process goes something like this;
"I don't drive, getting trains is okay, but having to get a taxi the other end to reach the cliffs is a bitch. I need to cycle it. Hmmm Panniers?"
Effectively he need's space to carry a rope & full rack of climbing stuff (From big cams to tiny nuts), probably at most 15 MIles and back later on. Likely geared (give him time).
Is it madness to try and do this with panniers, should I recommend he buy a trailer?
post you help and insults on a webpage.
