Today is Ann’s last day {sad face}. She has ridden the Timbuk2 roller coast for four groovy years, making sales reps, tiny dogs and Timbuk2 team members in very important meetings giggle endlessly along the way. So it was only fitting that we give her an Austin Power sendoff. Chuck, Tim, Taska & Denae groove [...]
It started last year when we asked folks why they ride and posted their responses to this word cloud (also appeared here). We got curious again this month and asked folks about their on-bike headphone use and different methods of commuting. All this talk of commuting sparked a question from Timbuk2 fan @mendesp who asked: [...]
Salad & Sunshine has become a Timbuk2 institution. Every day I make a massive salad full of shockingly cheap but good vegetables from our favorite Mission grocer (22nd & Folsom) and stand in front of Timbuk2, luxuriating in the sun and enjoying my Californian feast (mock & follow).

This is what we learned: 28% of the 241 Timbuk2 Facebook fans polled ride their bikes to work. Initially I was bummed it wasn’t [...]

Or do you listen to your ride?” 99 people responded with passionate campaigns for riding clean and with beats. The vast majority (69.5%) of respondents are purists; they listen to their ride. But a significant 29% rock out while [...]
Levi’s new denim cycling jacket is hot hot hot, but this may be hotter. I spotted Jace, his epic jacket and rusty cruiser on my ride up Polk last night. Jace’s self-described “biker gang” in Santa Barbara is responsible for his spray-painted, acid washed, fleece lined denim jacket. Makes me long for the fleecey denim [...]
A month ago I went to Ocean Beach with friends for the Great Highway edition of Sunday Street. Despite San Francisco’s typical wintery summer, everyone was it good spirits and fun was had. I particularly enjoyed how many people brought their furry friends. A furry friend trying to steal treats from her master’s Timbuk2 bag. [...]
