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 [...]
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.

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.

Ah the days of summer vacation . . . Phoebe [...]

She’s made our Polka Dot Messenger an official babe magnet. Pascale in [...]
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.
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 [...]
