Horns are just part of the drill when we’re thinking really hard.

Sometimes I like to click around on Etsy to look at cool handmade stuff. Here are some sweet bike things (click on the pic if you want to be magically transported to the item page).

It’s a ring!

It’s a cup!

It’s a clock!

It’s a key holder!

Timbuk2 Fan Photos

Our friend Amy met this girl, Danelle, in Chicago at the Patton Oswalt show at the Chicago Theater. When Anna saw her wearing a Timbuk2 bag she had to talk to her. Apparently Danelle is a HUGE Timbuk2 fan and obviously, she’s a ridiculously good looking model.

Do you have friends who love Timbuk2 and love (even more so) to splash their face around the web? Email us their photo and we’ll blog them! See more Timbuk2 fans here.

200 Recycled Bags

We recently hit a very cool milestone. 200 bags donated to our bag recycling program! Timbuk2’s recycled bags are donated to the San Francisco based non-profit, At The Crossroads (ATC). The economy has been tough on organizations like ATC but founder, Rob Gitin, and his team have dug in and ensure their service level to San Francisco’s youth does not decline. We visited ATC at their office in the Mission a few weeks ago and learned just how exceptional their service level is.

The ATC team forms meaningful relationships with their clients that often last as many as ten years. And when clients come into their office for supplies, they select items from a merchandised assortment of high quality food, clothing, hygienic supplies, and Timbuk2 bags. The goal is create a shopping experience in which clients select items with pride and dignity rather than feeling like they’re taking hand-outs. That means the bags we donate to ATC must be in good shape. If they’re not, ATC can’t use them. So if you’re recycling your bag, think about if it would look sharp in ATC’s store. If not, maybe you can find another home for it. A big cheers to ATC; impressive impressive organization.

A funky little bag we received for our recycling program along with a note from its owner.

Movember

Movember kinda makes me want to be a man. But alas, we’ll have to let Jonny do the manning around here.

If you can or if you must, grow your own stache for Movember.

Skeleton Sweats

Most sweats are dumpy, but skeleton sweats are rather sophisticated and totally relevant, particularly when worn by a Feldenkrais practitioner. Eat your heart out Kanye.

Timbuk2 in Antarctica

A Timbuk2 Facebook fan spotted this on NatGeo and it’s so cool we had to post it here. And I thought my Timbuk2 bag had been to exotic places . . .

“November 2009, Antarctica — Radiating charisma on a 23°F morning, a three-foot-tall emperor penguin strikes a pose on the pack ice of the Amundsen Sea. The photographers were taking a month-long cruise aboard a Russian icebreaker.”
