Modern touring bicycle with panniers. A pannier /ËpÃ¦niÉr/ is a basket, bag, box, or similar container, carried in pairs either slung over the back of a beast of burden, or attached to the sides of a bicycle or motorcycle. The term derives from a Middle English borrowing of the Old French panier, meaning 'bread basket'. 1 Animal panniers.
Most pannier racks sit over the back wheel, attached to the bike near the rear wheel axle and rear brake bridge. Pannier bags then clip on either side. There are options for extra bags that sit on top of the rack, or you can leave it empty and simply strap extra cargo to the top.
