Spying San Francisco

I’m perpetually shocked by how much more you see on a bike than you do on a bus or in a car. Every day on my ride to/from work I see something that surprises me. This morning was no different. I saw a man with so much style he made me want to be old [...]

Timbuk2 Bags on the Road

The Swig makes a great travel companion as carry on luggage that makes trail hiking during the trip no problem. Here we see Timbuk2 Spy, T-Bone, headed to the car rental in Dublin. Spy turns hiker on the The Great Blasket Island off the west coast of the Dingle Peninsula.  Next stop: Statue of Liberty.

Tour de France: Polkalady

Our friend James’ latest ladies-of-France photo installment features our Polka Dot Messenger with French inn keeper, Marie Perilliat. James says: Marie and her husband Claude own Hotel Restaurent du Parc in La Rochette, France. I stayed at their place last night and watched the Bastille Day fireworks from the hotel’s courtyard. She posed with the [...]

Internship Week 3: “The Model Intern”

This week I gained some experience as a model! I never thought of myself as model material (except in front of the bathroom mirror) until I was unexpectedly called into the Timbuk2 photo room. It was actually really fun pretending to be Derek Zoolander for 15 minutes. If anyone in the Bay Area is curious, [...]

Lockless Riders Unite

I may be on my own here, but I despise bike locks. They’re not that heavy but emotionally they weigh a ton. They’re smush your stuff if you carry them in your bag, get in the way if you attach them to your bike, and I don’t think anyone really enjoys shoving them down their [...]

Summer Swigs

Our friends Phoebe and Parker popped in today to make custom Swigs. In addition to being extremely (!) well mannered and energetic, Phoebe and Parker turned out to be quite skilled in the factory too. They’ll be the objects of tween envy all summer long. Ah the days of summer vacation . . . Phoebe [...]

Tour de France: Polkababe

Our friend James is following the Tour and took this photo of Pascale Schyns in the press room in Gueugon. Pascale is the official translator at the Tour de France so she attends post-race press conferences to translate journalists’ questions and riders’ answers. She’s made our Polka Dot Messenger an official babe magnet. Pascale in [...]

Hayes Street Showstopper

I spotted this showstopper on Polk at Hayes the other morning. She was rocking a faux (?!) fur vest and limited edition messenger in boots! See other Timbuk2 Showstoppers here. Hayes Street Showstopper.

Tour de France: Princess of the Mountains

Our friend James Raia writes for The Examier and has the lucky burden of reporting on the Tour de France every year. This year our Polka Dot Messenger is accompanying him from stage to stage in France. Because he rocks, he agreed to report back over the next three weeks on what he discovers. For [...]
