Who Needs Water?

The water machine was broken until today.  Thank god there were instructions on how to handle such a horrible situation. The sad cactus person (me) then sought an Anchor Steam. Glad the company keeps me hydrated.

Try, Just Try to Steal This

No one wants their bike to be stolen but UCSF is taking bike theft really seriously! I looked around with my hands on my hips and did a lap or two before attempting to lock my bike into this contraption. Really wanted to high five someone when I figured it out. Hope I can get [...]

Scooter Showstopper

Recently seen scooting up Polk. See more Timbuk2 Showstoppers here. Looking pea-tastic in a pop coat & super-loved messenger.

Ready for Pride in San Francisco

Our Hayes Valley retail store is so ready for Pride this weekend they created a Bike Share Rainbow montage in our store window. Rainbows and shared bikes @ the Timbuk2 retail store. Proud and read @Timbuk2.

Patches Make the Messenger

Sometimes a patch is all it takes. My messenger has a Tenderloin National Forest patch that makes it a little different than the rest.

In order to film this video, Jordan had to carry a video camera, tripod, bike lock, two bags of ice and a 12 pack of Corona bottles on his back across the entire city. He did it with a backpack and a Chiller. The things we do for highbrow film . . . Jordan’s outrageous [...]

Field Testing the Chiller

We rigorously tested the Chiller before releasing it to parks and beaches worldwide. It was difficult, but you’re worth it. How to Field Test the Chiller Step 1) Take a Chiller to the beach on a legitimate beach day in San Francisco. Note, this is very difficult. Step 2) Crack a chilled beverage with your [...]

Dolores Chiller Part Deux

It’s that time of year again. The sun is out, the nights are long and your local park is expecting you with your favorite frosted beverage. This is how the Dolores Chiller was born. It was 2009 and we were tired of carrying 12-packs on our backs. So we developed this convert cooler. Is it [...]
