Another new bag from Brooks that is …’interesting’. Very simple look, a touch dressier than usual bicycle bags but seems more bulky than handy.
When I look at it, I can’t stop thinking of a giant binoculars case!

Trash your bag
The Fixed Gear era is all about customizing, make your bike at your image and suitable to your specific needs. Trash Bags, a small scale messenger bags business in Minneapolis, followed the same idea for messenger bags and offers a wide variety of customizing options, ranging from the number of pockets, the stitching color and even personal custom art to add on. The bags are made in house by the small crew of Trash Bags who also test the new bag designs on the streets of Minneapolis. The owner, Andy Larson, is a former bike messenger and I bet you his bags are tough! Good luck to them!
To get one, go to trashmessengerbags.com.

Sneakerpedia
Finally a place for the sneakerheads to show off their ‘one of a kind’ favorite pair of sneakers and you can say thank you to Foot Locker. The idea popped up as a ‘community space’ where each member can upload pictures of THE sneakers they can’t stop thinking about and tell other members their love story with THE sneakers. Apparently the same idea has already had a short existence on the blogosphere (Sneakerpedia, A dedication to footwear design) but looked more like a solo project. Of course behind the whole community affair and brilliant idea of a digital sneakers showcase (needless to say inspired by Wikipedia), this project offers great advertising opportunities for Foot Locker and a well deserved freshen up (…well if they decide to spread the word on their website)!
To join the sneaker revolution go here (the site is still under construction).

Factice
On avait déjà vu le vélo écolo en bambou, le vélo en carton mais le vélo en bois naturel relève plus d’une prouesse artistique que d’un véritable objet fonctionnel. Tout ça n’est que de l’histoire ancienne grâce à Rob Pollock, spécialisé dans le faux grainage bois depuis 40 ans. Ancien pilote pro de hors-bord et restaurateur d’automobiles anciennes, ce monsieur a mis à profit son expertise pour adapter la méthode de grainage (utilisée essentiellement dans la restauration automobile) aux cadres à vélos, et le résultat est plutôt bluffant!
Allez jetez un coup d’oeil sur son site, c’est du travail d’orfèvre : robswoodgrainbikes.com
