This is an odd request but hopefully someone will have some pearls of wisdom.


I want to buy my partner a decent bag suitable for cycling to work for his birthday next week. It needs to be attractive, visible, not too bulky yet have enough space for change of clothes, lock etc. Anyone know of a good brand to look at??? Willing to spend up to ?100.

Found these in the for sale section - altura are good.

Alternatively http://www.ortlieb.co.uk/


Personally I've managed OK with a cheap pair of panniers from Decathlon but perhaps that's because I'm a tight-wad :)

Pannier bags are best IMO but he'll need a rack if he doesn't already have one.


Ortlieb are fab but expensive, Altura cheaper but still good quality and hard-wearing, and those two brands seem to account for most of the pannier bags I see around. I have one of these:

which I use for daily commuting. It will hold a change of clothes and a file of papers, plus mini pump, tool, spare tube etc. If he needs to take anything more bulky he'll want something a bit bigger.

    • Now I have heard everything…..not send your kid to a school because you don’t like the name - so to get my head around this, if school is outstanding, parents won’t send their child there because of name of school? Or have I not understood?
    • A quick Google says that it is not undersubscribed unlike many subject schools so those claims mentioned above may not be true. Last Ofsted was good.  You are definitely right about the money. This is what trusts do. Remove word ‘subject’ above Remove word ‘subject’ above I can’t edit my ridiculous errors but would like to apologise  for messy post
    • I have heard claims that people don't send their children there because of the name of the school..?  I genuinely cannot get my head around this one. The school is named after the road it is on which is named after the history of the area!  'Grove Primary School' is potentially the most boring name they could have come up with, and for a school struggling financially, is rebranding the school really the best use of funds? 
    • Certainly unique, can't argue with that.
