A friend of mine has red Ortlieb City version of the Roller panniers, I think they look just fine.  Attached photo.

Do you have a red matching jersey to wear?

Look at the bright side.  With enough UV, the red might turn to pink, so you might eventually get rid of that red color.

To expand a bit more on my previous comments, in my case bicycling is just fine.  But walking can be bad.  I often find myself walking a bike up a hill.  And on my feet several hours after I make a campsite.  And usually take a couple hours from waking up to finally rolling out of a campsite and some of that time is standing or walking.

So, I chose not to risk a bike trip, not because of they cycling but because of the off-bike time when I am walking or standing.  There were other unrelated reasons I did not do a bike trip too.

You might consider backpack rain covers. There’s a large selection of colours/sizes from Amazon,  and no doubt other retailers. Not a complete solution because the red would still be there when the covers have to be removed!

Thanks Mick and others. Very helpful. Yes, many types of hernia and best to take docs opinions / advice.

It was really a general question; anyone cycled with a hernia. Not the best situation and I certainly don't want to make matters worse.
I would probably have booked another trip to Thailand for next Spring but it looks like I'll be in recovery from the cancer stomach op. It was mentioned that there could be chemo after the surgery. Yikes. But at least I'll be ready for the awful side effects.

Cheers folks

I can see two Raven tours on Gumtree, one in Edinburgh and one in Chepstow. Suggest you have a go logging in to Gumtree.com and search, Thorn bicycle, and they should appear.
