Wired recently reported on the HEPAV (Human Powered Electric Amphibious Vehicle), otherwise know as a bike-kayak love child. The Czech inventor, David Buchwaldek, created this recumbent bike to enable people to peddle their way across rivers. Finally, someone has solved the river-crossing problem!
Actually, I wouldn’t mind riding a Hepav home on this rainy San Francisco day . . .
The New York Times Magazine recently reported on the trend of super high end hotels offering bicycles to guests for luxurious cruising on holidates. The article explained, “Bye-bye, Bentley — the latest hotel amenity on wheels is the bicycle.” Guests should refer to the New York Times style tips on what to wear while riding borrowed bicycles. What if your hotel doesn’t offer bikes? Rentabikenow.com to the rescue!
In Athens paying homage to the cradle of my civilization. As an artist it feels a little weird and humbling with my canvas T2 bag I painted. I have studies this architecture in great detail in art school and now here it it….Had to snap the photo fast so as not to alert the angry guard ladies with their whistles and stray dogs.
Here, my bag and I are dreaming of Electra in the Theater of Dionysus.
Last night we kicked of Timbuk2 Bar Week by sewing fanny packs and giving away Dolores Chiller’s at the Blue Light on Union. Tonight we’ll be doing much of the same at Swig from 6 ‘o clock.

This man stops for no storm! Although a tad grumpy (who can blame him?!), everything is dry except his feet and his face. The Lex served Paul well on this ridiculously wet San Francisco day.
The soaked, slightly grumpy storm chaser.
The Lex came through in the storm and kept everything dry.
Give a warm welcome to the newly assembled Long Haul Trucker. It’s Timbuk2’s biggest, baddest bike and has more parts than all your bikes combined. Paul says it rides, “like a Cadillac.” Fenders and baskets are so hot right now.
Just in case you are not aware we have a sic recycle your bag program.
You recycle your bag, you get 20% off and we give the bag to At the Crossroads, who puts it in the hands of those in need. If he can do it… so can you!
Trading the old small messenger to an updgraded medium Racing Stripe bag.
More action on Polk. Last night I spotted Jenny hauling a shiny new wheel in her Lex Pack. The wheel was beautiful, but what really caught my eye was the patch she’d sewn onto the back of her bag. Very perty. Thank you to Jenny for tolerating the improtu modeling shot amidst San Francisco’s crackdown in the Loin.
