Help Needed: Missing Ortlieb Pannier in Clapham
Hello, fellow cyclists and community members!
I’m reaching out with a small but significant request. I recently misplaced an Ortlieb pannier while cycling around Clapham, and I’m hoping that someone might have come across it. It’s a long shot, but I thought it was worth a try!
On a sunny day, I made the rookie mistake of riding with my over-ear headphones and, unfortunately, didn’t realize that my bag had slipped off my bike. While I can list all the items that were inside, the loss of my camera is what’s hitting me the hardest. It contained a wealth of precious memories that I had captured over the years.
If by any chance you’ve seen a lone Ortlieb pannier or have any information, I would be truly grateful. In return for your kindness, I’m more than happy to offer a friendly bribe in the form of beer, wine, or whatever you fancy!
Thank you for taking the time to read this. Here’s hoping for a little luck in reuniting me with my missing bag!
Hope for a Positive Outcome and Tips for the Community

It’s also worth mentioning that many cyclists in London ride with GPS or use tracking apps, which could help pinpoint the last known location of your bike or pannier if you had such features enabled. Hopefully, your camera and precious memories will be reunited with you soon. Fingers crossed and best of luck!
