Green Guru Gear Free Rider Bike Pannier, Multicolor, 22-Liter

My main issue is that the pictures being used by the seller to advertise this product (on Amazon) are not from what you are really getting here. The main picture, the one with three open panniers (different colors) belongs to the 31L Free Rider panniers. What you are getting at this price is the 22L version of those ones. The next picture (also with three kind of backpack looking bags) is of a complete different product from Green Guru called Joyride 24L Roll Top backpack. The last picture with a person and her groceries is also from the 31L version. Other than being a smaller size, I noticed that the one on the pictures posted on the reviews (which by the way are also not very helpful because they seem to be from the 31L version) and also on the Green Guru website have one compartment inside that the 21L doesn’t. Anyway, although the correct measurements are listed on the specs of the product, it is still very misleading when making a decision to purchase this item.Other than that, I think these bags feel very solid. I really like the style. I can definitely see how they could serve their purpose and probably last a long time. I would be using them mostly for grocery shopping and in that case I will be inserting a taller grocery bag inside since this pannier by itself is kind of small. Also throwing your backpack inside should work well. I do think it is a bit pricey. But the company since to be driven by good principles and that counts a lot for me. Also as I mentioned before it looks like something you might be keeping for the long run. In general I’m really happy that I somehow find out about these products by shopping for panniers. I hope they keep thriving because we need more companies that care for the environment and for their local communities. I’ll recommend you to learn more about the company at their website.

The one I received doesn't seem to have the same measurements as the one pictured. The back panel is 16", but the front panel is only 8"; it looks very low and like it probably wouldn't hold much

What a great device. I was looking for a pannier that would be water resistant, but professional looking as I needed something to cary around my gear via bike. Couldn't find anything I really liked. I went with this pannier, and it is awesome because I just leave it on the bike, and use my backpack with rain fly to keep my gear secure. This bag will hold a very full Sierra Backpack without problem. I love the fact that you can fold it down to a small size. I love that the fabric is all My one wish would be something without the colors on front.

This bag does have a nice square footprint, which means it can carry larger things laying flat. However the sides to not extend very far up, so whatever you put in it needs to be pretty self-contained (a backpack or a shopping bag for example). I also wish the sides of this were reflective so that when you put it on the bike it increases your visibility from behind. The front is higher vis, but this isn't very useful for riding in traffic. I have an older Green Guru bag that has white side panels that I love, but most of their newer stuff seems to only be available in black.

I concur with joe shmo's review. I've also done the research and there simply is no other pannier on the market that has a footprint of 12"×10". In Hawaii our typical styrofoam meal container measures 9"×9". I also agree that an insulated zipper top grocery bag is the way to go for food delivery with this pannier. Very good craftsmanship but secure it the best that you can. Possibly hose clamps over the hooks that won't be easy to cut like zip-ties.Now...the problem with my order was that I ordered a second after receiving the first. When it comes in, I'm absolutely thrilled because it matches the first bag exactly. However, the adjustable bottom hook assembly is simply not there and I go from elation to devastation. I send the second bag back immediately. The replacement sits in a warehouse for 3 days and I end up waiting an extra 9 days to get a complete second bag which is not an exact match to the first. This could have been avoided with a little quality control. I hope none of you will have to go through that. It hurt me in particular because I use panniers for work.In the end, it is a high quality product that is simply unmatched as to bottom footprint which does not in any way interfere with your pedalling motionI plan on buying more Green Guru products for my work ebike.
