DEF

A bag that hangs alongside one of the wheels of a bicycle.

CONT

They usually come in pairs. Well-equipped touring cyclists often use two pairs, one on the rear, the other on the front, for better weight distribution. If they are mounted so that the top of the pannier is below the top of the wheel, they are "low riders".

CONT

When I first started riding a bike as an adult in college in 1964, I needed some pannier bags to carry books to school, clothes to the laundry, and groceries home, so I designed my own, not only to be independent, but also because suitable panniers were not available at that time.
