I was bikepacking a section of Tour Aotearoa, a cycle-touring route that runs the length of New Zealand. The route takes the Timber Trail, a delightful cycle trail through Pureora Forest. I had spent the night in this cloud forest on the upper slopes of Mount Pureora. In the morning the clouds were lifting and the sun was about to break through. My breakfast of coffee and muesli was waiting. The route continued with a long downhill section, it could not get much better.
Eight years ago I took this photo. As we get older, not everything works anymore. Cycling, for example. But then you still have this photo.
Brand new bikes and with our train pass we could go everywhere. We still use our train pass, but now I have a walker. But we still use public transport to get to a museum. And....enjoy.
Acht jaar geleden deze foto gemaakt.Met het ouder worden lukt niet meer alles. Fietsen bijvoorbeeld. Maar dan heb je deze foto nog.
Spikspinter nieuwe fietsen en met ons treinabonnement konden we overal naar toe. Wij gebruiken nog ons treinabonnement, maar nu heb ik en rollator. Maar we komen nog via openbaar vervoer naar een museum. En....genieten.
Ich habe dieses Foto vor acht Jahren gemacht. Mit zunehmendem Alter funktioniert nicht mehr alles. Radfahren zum Beispiel. Aber dann hast du immer noch dieses Foto.
Nagelneue Fahrräder und mit unserem Bahn-Abo konnten wir überall hinfahren. Wir nutzen immer noch unser Bahn-Abo, aber jetzt habe ich einen Rollator. Zu einem Museum gelangen wir aber trotzdem mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln. Und genieße.
J'ai pris cette photo il y a huit ans. En vieillissant, tout ne fonctionne plus. Le vélo, par exemple. Mais alors vous avez toujours cette photo.
Des vélos neufs et avec notre abonnement au train, nous pourrions aller partout. Nous utilisons toujours notre abonnement au train, mais maintenant j'ai un déambulateur. Mais nous arrivons toujours à un musée via les transports en commun. Et apprécie.

A hard bonk leads to very few photo options from an early season ride on the Glacial Drumlin State Trail, while I made it to Lake Mills I had to hit the breaks and take a ride back from the trailhead in Cottage Grove.
Basic roll-up seat pack. Roll top parts are fixed so the loose ends don't get in the way. Daisy chain on the bottom allows for different modes of support depending on how much load is present. Optional bungie on the back that can be removed
(for Lynne F!) See the set page for more info.
Surprisingly, the loaded bag makes for a very smooth hands-free ride, even given the relatively high trail of the Saluki. Of course, I don't have a low trail bike with which to compare it. Great for my needs, though!
More images from my bicycle lifestyle work, a specialty of mine! These are from a Two Wheel Gear bike bag shoot with Addy and Max.
Vancouver, BC.
The artist known as "Meter" strikes again in downtown Madison as I wonder how many people passed this by on the daily along East Wilson. I felt it was a good opportunity to post up my bike and capture the work in progress to highlight progress on the new protected bike path on East Wilson.
After a 40 mile ride along Cleveland's lakefront. The Grand Bois Hetres easily handled the city's terrible roads.
The power supply for my scale died today, so I don't know how much it weighs yet, but hopefully I'll have that soon. With the vinyl liner it's not going to be for weight weenies.
These proto's are headed out the door first thing tomorrow to be "field tested" by a good friend and client doing a point to point trip. Both of our bikes are almost identical, so dialing in the setup was simpler.
Nearing the top of a two-mile climb from Newhey on the A640, Huddersfield Road. I thought I'd stop to take a photo - and get my breath back.
I haven't finalized all the sizes, but I'm close. What you see here are:
* On the right is the mini with added 3D side pockets (optional extra - the body is the same width as the blue one, but the side pockets give it the impression of being a good deal wider).
* In the middle is a small, which is slightly taller and slightly deeper than the mini.
* On the left is the picnic size - the large will be as tall as it, but the picnic size is deeper. It's a little larger than an Ostrich bag, which is a good deal deeper than Berthoud bags)
Not pictured, because I haven't made them yet, are the medium and large "regular" bags. They'll be the same width and depth as the blue one, with the same pockets, just with increasing heights. I can also customize the height on request.
They will also be using a traditional plain shock cord closure which loops over a metal lacing hook on the bag body. My hardware for that just isn't arriving until the middle of next week, otherwise the blue one would have used it.
Taking orders in March. Sign up for the email list to get notified first.
The Polyvalent is your do anything 650b low trail bike. It's designed to take front loads without any effect on handling or quality.
Handlebar bag prototype #3, all clamped up while the glue sets.
Just kidding. I use paper clamps to fit pieces together when I'm working on a new pattern, to make sure things are fitting together right before stitching them.
I'm working on a proper prototype now, with all the features a production bag will have. Just need to make the small pockets for the rear, and the liner, and then it can be assembled. This takes a lot more time than yesteday's quick mockups.
After receiving much valuable feedback from JimG regarding the first prototype, I finally got to ride with the jumbo version myself. I'm totally sold on decaleurs. Solid!

After several months away getting a major overhaul from Black Saddle Bike Shop I was happy to be reunited with my Surly Midnight Special. New features of note include a new wheel set (WTB KOM Tough) and the addition of a SP 7 Series Dynamo Front Hub with front and rear lights by Supernova Lighting Systems Thanks to Simon Pokorny for putting in the long hours to make this project possible, it only seemed fitting to get out and hit 38 miles for my belated 37th birthday ride. A few pictures of the bike were a must, I even caught the start of the second Cap City Cyclists Madison Madison Monday ride of the year.
