I decided to put the triangle on my bike for my Florida tour in 2017, got the triangle in 2012. And have used it for subsequent tours after 2017 even though they had nothing to do with ACA. On my Canada tour (photo below) for a while when I was low on groceries my rack top bag did not have enough stuff in it to display the triangle very well, so I put it on my left pannier. It might be my imagination, but I was thinking that the cars that were passing me gave me an extra foot or two when the triangle was on the left side. So, now I always put it on the left instead of centered on the bike.
The photo above on a really gray day make that triangle look REALLY visible.
But, if I was in the UK, it would be on the right side.
To make a long story short, I have a set of Carradry panniers too. Decided to try them on the tour the photo above is from. That is why you see photos here with two different sets of panniers. And I just realized that in my three photos with the triangle here, you have seen all three of my touring bikes.
