On a recent trip to Oregon to visit friends, I wasn’t surprised to see a ton of Timbuk2 in Portland. Portland felt like San Francisco’s rainer bikier sister. But I was not expecting to see a Timbuk2 bag while hiking to Broken Top just outside of Bend. I also wasn’t expecting to have 3G coverage [...]

We have a Brazilian birthday in the house. Thanks to in-house Brazilian San Francisco connections, Carolina was able to celebrate (kind of) like they do in Brazil; with homemade brigadeiro (aka the BEST DESSERT ON THE PLANET). We eat a lot of dessert around here – several of us fancy ourselves outstanding chefs – but [...]

While in China, our CEO Mike marched his messenger into the Forbidden City. Mike in the Forbidden City. Biking is big in China, but for very different reasons than why it’s big in Portland. A bike commuter spotted by Mike in China.

I am not a priss, but I do enjoy dressing like a girl (sometimes). However, I like riding my bike more. So what is one to do? After years of bike commuting, I’ve discovered key bike commute accessories and written about them here, but it’s time to tackle this subject head-on. This is the first [...]

Minneapolis is America’s number one biking city, but I didn’t really believe it until I rode the city myself this weekend. It was 75 degrees and sunny with a light breeze and there were bikes everywhere! Dedicated bike lanes, massive, glowing signs encouraging drivers to “Share the Road,” traffic-calmed streets, pleasant, wandering riverside bike paths, [...]

In August we rolled out a suite of updates to timbuk2.com including a new look and feel, fly-out nav, a no-shopping zone (gross!), improved search and more speed. See details here. You guys seemed to like what our developers did, so this morning we did it again. This time we bring you a brand new [...]
