It sounds like you are no longer in the design phase but I would like to suggest that they attach to the rack at the top and bottom. I have tried several types of panniers and those that just clip on the top don't always stay in place during a rough ride. I am also very excited about the panniers.

I've been wanting a pannier that easily converts to a messenger bag for carrying around the hospital for more than 2 years. I rigged my current panniers with a webbing strap and dive buckle but it's not attached to the bag so everytime I open the bag, the strap falls off. Would love to have a more permanent and better crafted solution. Color me excited! When are they scheduled to be released? Can’t wait for these to come out.

As an intermediate step, though, I request a cross-body strap at the very least. I am hella excited about this development!! I second Sam.

Very nice though... I heartily approve. Great progress… but I need it to convert to a messenger bag when I arrive at my destination.

I threw my covert messenger bag over my shoulder Sunday (admittedly, to go to the library - heavy!) and winced from how tender my shoulder was. I have seen my shoulders get a bit tighter since I've up'ed the bike commuting. And I love the bike commuting, so I need to find that peaceful place of nirvana. ;) I could see how desk work (or sewing!!) could add to tightness too. At any rate - I did think, I want my bike to carry my stuff! Not me! ;) So my only question now is how soon can I get my new panniers and love them to death? ;) Part of the shoulders / yoga thing was I had attended a workshop Saturday that really worked our shoulders, especially the trapezius.

Great feedback! We do yoga at Timbuk2 once a week and we all suffer from tight shoulders. However, I suspect it may be more about sitting at our desks and less about our bikes . . . interesting. I will explore that tonight in class. The panniers will have handles; they're really easy to put on/off racks. You'll love it. Wow. Great feedback!

A recent yoga workshop highlighted that my increase in cycling for my commute has translated into increase tightening of my shoulders from a combo of my messenger bag & my death grip. ;) I would LOVE to see Timbuk2 bike panniers! A friend and I were talking today about how it doesn't make sense that cycle forward Timbuk2 doesn't have panniers yet. Could you include a handle or strap so they are easy to carry off the bike as well? And if you need another tester, please let me know! Love Timbuk2!!!! THANK YOU!!!!
