Not quite as thrilling as spotting a Yetti but strangely fun to discover, Timbuk2 bags appear in urban landscapes all over the world. Our good friend Elia recently started sharing her images of Timbuk2 caught in the wild on this blog. I think her NYC Showstoppers post inspired another longtime Timbuk2 fan who recently sent [...]
At the risk of ostracizing myself from the cycling community, I must admit that I’m not in to cycling gear.

Come to Lombardi’s tonight to hear Mike’s talk on Taming the Bike Commute [...]
