Welcome to the great cycling adventure.
I was so happy to see your post. I'm also looking into getting some panniers for my bike. I love your bike. It is beautiful. 🥳

I'd love to use them too! Sadly, my bike is totally mountain/sport model, so I had to rely on my back all of the time. :/
That's why I say that, because I always carry everything on my back. But I could adapt something to it, a rear luggage rack. I've seen it on Amazon.
All 4 of my bikes (that I obtained for my family) had no luggage rack. Only me to blame for that. For the bike that my wife uses when she lives in our summer house, at some point I even considered buying a rack and welding it in the workshop... but didn't dare, decided not to ruin the bike's look :)))

If you ever have to change or upgrade any of the bikes @qwerrie go for one with a rack...👍 Sometimes I have my front basket full, both pannier bags full and a bag on my back... and it saves me several trips and I cycle balanced:)
No need to explain that :( My option is 'several trips with backpack', hehe... but most my cases is cycling for fun rather than to the market, I prefer less weight of th bike. See, my home doesnt have an elevator - any time I want to go out with a cycle, I have to carry it on my back for five floors down ... and then, carry it back at the end of the trip. Thus, weight of the bike is of no small importance to me.
Oh, dear! I understand. Yeah, making several trips sounds like the best solution there!
You can get one that you don't have to weld, and that you can put on only when you need it. Put them on and take them off. But it's true... we worry about that, how it looks... 😄
Then let the back suffer.
Didnt they say in Sprite ad that 'Thirst is Nothing. Image is Everything'?.. 😄

You will not regret getting a rear luggage rack. I wouldn't have bought this bike if it didn't have one.
Pannier bags are a game-changer. I will see how long these last, and maybe in the future I'll upgrade to dry bags... these 'claim' to be waterproof... but I always have dry bags inside, anyhow.
Thank you so much @nanixxx 😊
I remember your encouraging words months ago when I said I would get one.
Get the rack installed, and I'm sure that you'll find a Cuban tailor who could make some bags for you xx

hey, 🤔 not a bad idea. @mdrguez could incorporate this into her creations and then she would have cycling customers.
See, that already sounds like a fantastic idea.👏
