Zero Per Gallon’s new digs

From Jonny’s blog:
The rad people at Timbuk2 hooked me up with an awesome new space (at 16th and Alabama) to make belts and spread the good biking word… so I spent this afternoon packing up all of ZPG’s worldly possessions and then unpacking them much faster on account of all the coffee I downed half [...]

Gearing up for Bike to Work day

We donated 500 bike to work day t-shirts to the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition for Bike to Work Day, that we had to deliver to their office. It seemed wrong to deliver Bike to Work t-shirts to a bike coalition by way of car so Cole and I schlepped all 500 in our bike trailers. [...]

Day 7: I’m blogging about diaper bags

Today Clare worked with a quilter to develop a quilt pattern for the diaper bag. The pattern that Clare showed me is really cool. It’s almost enough for me to get excited about diaper bags. Almost. Just kidding. It’s one of the coolest bags I’ve seen in a long time, no matter what it’s primary [...]

Day 6: You asked for it…

After God knows how many requests—hip mothers, you might actually get what you’ve been asking for: a diaper bag! Yes, it’s true our second artist has actually been working on a diaper bag. This was news to me today. I have to say, the prototype is pretty cool… if you’re into babies and shit. Literally. [...]

Day 5: New ideas for Clare’s bag

Today Tae and Clare discussed ideas for what they could add to the Avon inspired bag. The ideas they have like an organizer that can be removed and be used as a purse is really cool.
