There’s not much that makes me happier than a successful marriage of function and style, and so my need for one of Hill & Ellis’ pannier bags is entirely justifiable. I am particularly coveting one from the new (water-resistant) canvas range and despite the website stating each design was inspired by favoured London cycle routes, I feel these perfectly-formed bike bags may just find their natural home in Oxford.
Sturdy-bottomed, and with a more than decent sized internal zipped section, the gamechanger is a nifty side pocket housing a pannier clip which makes light work of attaching and detaching when out and about, be it a jaunt to the shops or an outdoor meet-up with friends or family.
