Bike Schwag: Post 3

freitag bagsIn the spirit of more cool, hipster, mainstream products here’s another company churning out stuff I’d like to spend too much money on. And in a fashion (no pun intended) I can admire–they recycle!

“FREITAG products are made from original recycled materials – used truck tarps, used car seat belts, used air bags and used bicycle inner tubes. Because the materials are tough, the products are too. Because we’re Swiss, our quality standards are too. And because it is made from an original piece of tarp, every single FREITAG product has its own, individual design.”

If you know of any marginally bike-related products you think more people ought to know about, email me. By the same token, if you’ve purchased any of these products and would like to review it/them, I’d also like to hear/write about it. So, yeah, let me know about that, too.

  1. I’m looking for a bag that makes commuting with my laptop more tolerable. Eight miles each way. Current msg bag ends up putting too much pressure on my left shoulder.

    Hey Syd~
    Patagonia makes a messenger bag that looks pretty good~ you might want to give them a look. I don’t bike commute but I have some of their bags and I think they make some well~made, very well~thought~out bags.
    Cheers!

    Syd,

    If you haven’t already heard of Chrome bags then you should check them out. All of their bags are designed for cyclists. I guess the only downfall is they are a little pricey, but they do last a long time.

    Here’s their website…

  4. I actually have a chrome bag. A big blue one. I really like it but with my laptop and stuff I usually have about 25lbs and it’s just too much. Spreading the weight between both shoulders seems to be better at moment.

    Sydney,

    Yeah, I was thinking something like the Chrome Messenger Pack. It has 2 double padded straps plus a soft back.

    Also, why does it keep showing up that I’m anonymous? I do I change that?

    Thanks!
