I remember when I used to be able to do the Big Shop with just the two
rear panniers. After all, how often do you buy more than 72l of stuff
in one go? But that was when I was a carefree flat-dwelling batchelor.
How things change (mutter)! As the volume crept up I got warier and
warier, and started carrying a 60l pair of front bags (or rather, a
60l pair of bags which I foolishly carry on the front) which often came
back from the market empty. I was starting to worry about what I would
have to do when I got close to filling all four bags, but presumably by
then the child trailer will be empty, and at the present rate of growth
that should carry everything until I need someone else to pedal the
hearse for me.
