Blackburn's designs are not only practical, they're functional and inventive. We like to think that the true signs of a cycling aficionado aren't necessarily the most expensive parts or the most boutique gear, but the implementation of the smartest and most practical gear that makes bike life more enjoyable. The Blackburn Local Grocery Pannier is such an item. It's a tough, weatherproof, well-made cargo bag that looks good, attaches easily to a rear rack, is collapsible, and includes a fold-away shoulder strap. It's also compatible with Blackburn's ingenious Interlock rack system that allows you to lock items to the rack without immobilizing the bike. We like this pannier for its ingenuity and durability.
