Essential part of a citibike. Nice and sturdy and carries a load. My big feet do bump the panniers when they are not in folded mode, if I keep my toes on the pedals, but this problem is easily remedied by moving my feet slightly forward on the pedals while carrying a load. This slight inconvenience is vastly outweighed by the convenience of carrying two full grocery bags (not counting what you can put on the rack itself).
