I've been commuting to work a few days a week and have become obsessed with using my bike in functional ways instead of just for leisure. Getting Ortlieb panniers has been amazing with cargo trips.
I was able to get a week's worth of groceries from Aldi on my way home from work today! Just wanted to show off my haul. 😁 I have one trip a month where I use my car to get heavy and bulky items. I also get my meat from a local butcher shop so thats a separate trip.
It's about a 6 mile journey one way with 50% on a shared path greenway, and about 48% in neighborhood streets with low traffic. There are only short bursts at the beginning and end where I am on a main road with heavy traffic.
Lurking in this community has helped me a ton and I appreciate everyone's knowledge that they share here!

Nice bags!
That’s awesome! I’m getting rid of my car next week and I’m was looking at what equipment to use for my grocery hauls. How do you like Ortlieb? Any other brands you’ve used and would recommend?
154bpm are you OK?
