I have a Hiplok d1000 and can’t lock my bike to these because of the weird geometry. They’re at Totem Lake plaza (Trader Joes/Whole Foods). I ended up locking my bike to a random post but it’s not ideal.
Should I get a second lock (chain lock)? Is there anywhere else around totem lake that has easier to use bike racks?
I’m searching for a bike panniers for commuting but it’s hard to compare the size, material, latch mechanism etc just from online photos. I’ve already been to REI (had a few options) and my local bike shop (only had one option in store)
Which stores do you recommend checking out to look at bike panniers in person?
I know Ortleib is the recommended brand but I’m hoping to find something a bit more stylish and less bulky looking, and I need to test what’s the smallest size I can get away with and still fit my 16” laptop.
Thanks!
Very cozy and easy book to read. It’s about a boy who moves to a remote village in the mountains to work in forestry for a year.
It is a slow slice of life kind of book but it still has enough surprises to keep the plot interesting.
If you like nature, mountains, Japan, studio ghibli, I think you’d enjoy it!
