How to Pronounce Pannier
Pannier is one of the most mispronounced words in the bicycling lexicon and its origins are often misunderstood. Where does the word come from? Is it a French or English word? What is the correct pronunciation? We settle it once and for all in this video and get a little help from Merriam-Webster.

Who cares how someone pronounces a word as long as you understand what they are talking about. I think it’s fun that we all don’t pronounce things the same way. Local/regional dialects are cool. Just say no to the language police!
I’m been thinking and researching light touring and liked your setup that you used during you Central Coast adventure. After this video, at least I will not have to guess the pronunciation and not sound like a noob. Do you have suggestions for low rider panniers? Since I am new, I have a mid-level budget for low rider racks and panniers. By the by, do you have plans to do the Deerfield Dirt-Road Randonnee; been around since the ’90s but became an organized event in the mid 2000s.
Wow. What a comprehensive discussion on this specific word!
This might be the post of the year. Geeky….and awesome.
This was a great video and very interesting. I enjoyed the part about pelton and platoon and the origins. I do think its funny that he kept saying Pannier with an “a” sound like Pan and you still pkept saying it with a long “a” like Pain all the way to the end :). I know… “its bad manners”… lol. Seriously, great job though!
I really enjoyed this! Thank you .
