New Handlebar bag from Dill Pickle

Along with excellent construction, there's a whole lot of good design going on with this bag.



Full map case, opens from the rider, compression and stablization straps, closures that work in the rain while wearing gloves.

Solution to a complicated problem. No hand positions compromised, capacity, access while riding. All good.

This is designed from experience.

Roland Bevan is #1

The first time I met Roland was at some really pretty vista on a 200k. There was a whole gaggle of people that stopped and popped out their cameras and we were all taking pictures for each other. Since then, I'm always happy to pull over and stop to enjoy the view. It's really important to look around while you're riding and enjoy the countryside and the company you're in. Oh, and Roland is the only person I know crazy enough to pull off two 1200k's in the same month or a triple rando series in the same year. I think this photo is from the Santa Cruz, Davis or SFR 600k this month, I'm pretty sure he did them all. Thanks Roland!

Seattle Randonneurs


One of the best things about making bags is making new friends.

Magnic Light


Carlos just tested the Magnic Lights on the 600k. His review is here.   It actually looks pretty amazing, wireless, and the entire unit is housed in the body light enough to attach to a brake bolt.

Ryan was over in Japan....


Beautiful!
