  3. Take a nice long break in Key West! Maybe you've covered this, but I'm stuck in the debate over panniers vs trailer. Love to get your take on it.

  4. Hello George, I've used both now. There are good things and bad about each. In a headwind, the trailer is better, for stealth camping panniers might have the edge. For up-hills.... well lets face it, when you're riding up a hill it's all heavy.

    One thing I like about the Bob is how easy it is to load up in the morning with one big bag. I tend to keep track of everything better.

    Personally, I like panniers, but the Bob performs just fine and I have no major complaints
