Messenger Bags That Don’t Suck 0

Dec22

We know you are cheap. Let’s face it. You probably commute on a bicycle to save money. Yeah but we know how much your bike costs. We also know there are others things you will spend a lot of money on like messenger bags. We agree that this an item where you actually get what you pay for.  So, here it is – a list of bags that don’t suck. Be prepared to shell out the dough. It will be well worth it.

 

Timbuk2 Ride On – $135

Timbuk2 teams up with Howies a UK based clothing company to make this eco friendly organic cotton and water based solution dye bag [via Timbuk2]

Timbuk2 Artist Series – Pubs (for sale?)

It was too good to leave out but looks like it was a part of their 07 collection.

Ok so you can’t get these either.

The idea is to design your own bag and get them custom made by Crumpler.

Classic Chrome Messengers - $100-180

With a lifetime guarantee, it’s worth the price. [via Chrome]

freitagFreitag – $367

In case you are loaded but hey they are made from recycled materials – used truck tarps, used car seat belts, used air bags and used bicycle inner tubes.  [via Freitag]

Oh and if you are actually cheap, you can always make a messenger bag out of trash.

Ideas We Love – Zero Per Gallon 0

Oct21

A few weeks back I was surfing Flickr for work and I stumbled upon this messenger bag. In one of the comments, I was driven to www.zerpergallon.com which explained the idea behind the patch seen here.

Zero Per Gallon is a site run by “jonny5waldman” whose inspiration behind his idea came in 2005 when gas prices began to rise dramatically. And most of us have probably heard the NYT quote, “The US has 3% of the world’s population, and uses 25% of the world’s oil.” Jonny thinks “‘Voracious’ is an understatement; greedy might be the right word. And ‘propensity’ is too kind; addiction is more like it.”

Hey Johnny, we are with you on this one. Check out his site for strange goat humor jokes and even more clever patches and stickers – also available for sale near you. We happen to really like this one…
