Behind the Christmas Card

Behind the scenes of our very happy Christmas (she said “Christmas!”) photo shoot in our San Francisco factory. Hello? Oh, there you are. Fore! We’re #1! Go that way. Enthusiastic confusion strikes again at Timbuk2 Headquarters. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!

Haul it Home for the Holidays

Last-minute shopping recently left me in a quandry. How to get a Copilot Roller, Travel Wallet, and my bike across the city without access to a car? I considered begging coworkers who drive, entrusting a taxi driver to deliver it, paying Godspeed, our local courier of choice, to ride it home for me, and then [...]

Cookie Monster

Our in-house cookie monster Tim only baked 70 dozen cookies this year. Slacker. From Tim to Timbuk2: This year my time and sanity dictated a pared down version of “the platter.” Help yourselves to cranberry orange nut bread, cherry shortbread, chocolate almond shortbread, and good old sugar cookies. Happy ChrismaKwanakah . . . or Tuesday. [...]

Shoes, a Bag’s Best Friend

Like people and their dogs, Timbuk2 bags tend to resemble their owner’s footwear. In documenting the Timbuk2 team from the knees down, we discovered that you can learn a lot from someone by what they carry on their back and on their feet.

Can Bikes Save Us?

This morning we came across Cliff Kuang’s fantastic post, How Bikes Can Save Us, and our office is buzzing with anecdotes and possibility.

Hyperbole was not used in the title of this post. Timbuk2 fan rocking our new backpack the Showdown (2012), en route to a tiger preserve in southern Indian.

Flowers When You Least Expect Them

No, they weren’t for me. But if you have to ride Muni, this is the way to do it! I go to great lengths to limit my Muni riding in San Francisco (i.e. cycling in a midnight downpour), but this morning I had to do it. I gave myself a good looking-at-my-reflection-in–the-mirror pep talk, scraped [...]

Snow in San Francisco

City Hall featured a red carpet and real snow last night. I should have ridden in my mink coat! It was a slightly less glamorous scene this morning. A sad little snowman was melting in the morning sun and two big guys with shovels were cleaning up the melt. Out with the mink, in withe [...]

Testing the Especial Cuatro

This year our design team worked really hard to develop a collection of serious cycling bags for serious cyclists. They created the Especial collection. It includes three packs – the Dos, Tres and Cuatro – and one pannier – the Viaje – and launches February 1, 2012 on timbuk2.com. But who wants to wait until [...]
