"Yeah, hopefully it's not too bad and I'll be back riding next week. I'm pretty sure I hurt myself twisting around while riding, trying to turn on my light that was attached to my backpack. "

"Water amplifies your sense of smell, so those stenches are likely always there, but you only notice them when it rains. Incidentally, I can smell Blommer from a mile away on rainy days. Yum."

"I've used the classic pannier's on extended bicycle and motorcycle tours. They are tough as nails, waterproof and very adaptable. I also fill them with ice and use them as coolers when I ride to the beach."
