Any plans to make panniers?

I definitely like the idea of panniers. At this point we don't have anything in the works, but our friend Ross Evans from Extracycle has tossed out a couple cool ideas for a messenger bag/pannier hack kit. We're also working on redoing the sewing facility downstairs and putting in a prototyping station in there. So we'll see...

Score, I hope it works out. I love extracycle, but I dunno if I would want to hack my messenger into a pannier, I don't want a stiff backing on my messenger, and I don't like saggy panniers. But if it were a permanent fix, maybe I'd get a new messenger just to pannierize....

If you guys need product testers, I happen to live nearby in San Carlos, CA, and happen to attach all my product reports to a case of beer ;)

Well our designers have heard your requests and have started working on some designs. I sat in on the first brainstorming meeting and they have some great ideas. There are a bunch of really cool projects that our product development team is working on so there isn't a timeline right now, but I'll keep y'all posted!

Very glad to see this idea being kicked around. I, like a lot of other bike commuters, often ride to work with a change of clothes and a laptop (in my Commute).

For me, something sleak like the Wiki made with a waterproof liner and pannier clips on the back would be perfect in combination with a trunk bag to hold my clothes. Cheers and thanks for listening!

Can we see any pictures or sketches or anything? I'm really excited that this might become a reality!

If possible, it'd be awesome to have KLICKflix or Ortlieb-style quick release systems on them.

Great idea!

I should elaborate... I like the idea of a messenger bag that doubles as a pannier.
