I enjoyed a set of grocery panniers too up until I had to sell my bike. They would be great regular panniers if you could stiffen up the 3 sides away from the wheel. I think otherwise they might sway or sag too much if really packed up with gear from their bulk. A nice zippered top with a water proofing flap over the zipper might be just the thing. Seems I always bought too much food to fit into my panniers no matter how lightly I shopped along the way. Biking gives ya' the munchies something fierce!
