  "Where do you get 2'+ (need room for the paper, and larger than the 2') bike panniers?" Your sarcasm detector is off. https://yubabikes.com/cargobikestore/go-getter-bag/ 24"x18"x4" it would stick out the top a bit, but the bag has enough give to fit 2' objects if they're thin. Largest kit I've ever transported by bicycle, dive gear ie. twin 88's, backplate, double wings, drysuit, weights, oxygen for decompression, fins , mask, reel. Total about 65kg.

I have transported fragile items by bicycle before, but not with great success. However, it were half a mile, I would walk. Not everyone can carry sheets of glass that distance, though....

  What are YOU giving up for the common good? My immediate reaction to that was that you're actively trying to be an arsehole by ignoring everything I've posted on the topic and "just asking questions". But I'm reminded that you see things very differently to how I do, and that comes across in your reply that ends with the above question. So I'm answering below rather than just saying "read my post history". So: what I have personally sacrificed? In many ways nothing at all. I've done what made me happy and comfortable for most of my life. I've taken...
