I recently spent a couple weeks bicycling with my wife in France, mostly in the
Loire Valley.  We worried about our paniers, but we never locked them.  All we
did was lock the bikes and hope that nobody would want a panier full of dirty
laundry.  We did carry a handlebar bag with us all the time, since it contained
our camera and traveller's checks.
