It's surprisingly simple. Sometimes we use a baby trailer (with or without our baby) and sometimes we use the Sunlite grocery getter panniers - cheap and lightweight. The store is 1 mile from our house, so it takes 2 minutes longer to get there by bike - worth it!RChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01837670756033629764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3440844456463948816.post-86196644411720118382010-02-09T18:04:47.211-05:002010-02-09T18:04:47.211-05:00I have Wald folding baskets on my grocery getter. ...I have <a href="http://www.waldsports.com/index.cfm/wald582rearfoldingbasket.html" rel="nofollow">Wald folding baskets</a> on my <a href="http://2whls3spds.blogspot.com/2009/01/learn-new-language.html" rel="nofollow">grocery getter.</a> They work great! I also have a huge set of Basil panniers that look great and actually hold more than the folding baskets. They do rattle a bit, but you can minimize that with zip ties, velcro straps or a rubber strap.<br /><br />To me grocery getting is the fun part of riding a bike.<br /><br />Aaron2whls3spdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16954543886269776858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3440844456463948816.post-72752677087926489682010-02-09T17:37:08.896-05:002010-02-09T17:37:08.896-05:00It IS possible.

They rattle a bit open or closed, but not enough to bother me. Smooth pavement is very quiet, but we don't have a lot of that here!Step-Throughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04568478913918338651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3440844456463948816.post-58944451821989434492010-02-09T10:08:53.813-05:002010-02-09T10:08:53.813-05:00i like the idea of collapsible baskets because the...i like the idea of collapsible baskets because they appear sturdy. do they rattle when collapsed flat?somervillainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13903377050982678550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3440844456463948816.post-22981215881760165952010-02-08T22:51:07.090-05:002010-02-08T22:51:07.090-05:00Those are some heavy duty grocery baskets.
