Context: I've got panniers, including those specific to shopping, and a traditional bike trailer. For large grocery hauls (100lbs+), this combo works well, but it's a bit of a PITA.

But the Travoy is so unique and useful that it probably should have been my first purchase for groceries by bike.

For those who don't know, the Travoy is basically a two-wheeled grocery cart that can attach to your bike as a trailer (by the seat post). That means, you can cart it around off the bike, then attach it to your bike and ride off.

I'm finding it easier than panniers (and no need to get a grocery cart, then return it, etc.), and way easier to store compared to my other trailer.

My only real problem is that Burley sells really expensive bags that attach to the Travoy, and while the bags are good quality and add to the utility of this trailer, they are way too expensive.

I'm currently using their "Upper market bag" and an Arkel Shopper bag on the lower half with straps that attach to the Travoy and keeps everything nice and secure.

Anyway, I've had so many positive comments while using it in stores that I thought you guys might appreciate knowing about it :)
