Ordered the Arkel GT-18BP Classic – Convertible Backpack Pannier
That’s me just ordered the Arkel GT-18BP Classic – Convertible Backpack Pannier. Since my current panniers bags, that I got back in 2009. For during the End to End cycle (JOGLE), don’t fit on pannier rack on the E-Bike, that I’ve been using!
I went for this pannier, since it can also be used has an backpack. So I can take it, with me. While the bike is safely locked up!
Also means, I can start to take my tripod and camera gear with me again on cycles! So that means, I WILL start doing vlogs again!!
Just don’t ask the cost of this bag and getting it sent over the UK…
