Duh!! You just made me have my big DUH moment for the day. When I wear insulated overpants in the winter, I couldn't get my leg over the bag, which prompted me to buy the saddlebags. Honestly, I'm sitting here now just shaking my head not believing that I didn't think to simply stand up on the peg when mounting the bike....
