Although, I didn't pay $80 each for them (I think I got the pair of them for like $45 due to sales and a clerk screwing something up), so I don't know where that price is coming from. They work well for commuting, but less well for shopping, so I might look into getting some of the grocery bag ones and swap them out as needed.
Congrats on the bike riding though. Sounds like you had a lot of weight behind you, with the groceries and Nate (does Nate get to pedal too?). I've also found google earth is really handy for figuring out exactly how far you rode, in case you didn't know that already.
Well, Nate rode behind his dad, who does that particular ride (and farther, too) every day to work. I'm still working on my endurance, and if I push it too hard, I'll hurt something else. One trip to the ER was enough for the year. Heck, it'll do me for the rest of the decade, I hope.
The grocery bag panniers are awesome. I managed to pay $47 for both of those, the new seat post for the Trail-a-bike, Nate's bike gloves, and a cycling jersey (which Nate promptly co-opted by saying it was too small for me, so it had to be his).
