I delight in seeing new bike gear. And I consider Timbuk2 gear “bike gear”. This one looks pretty groovy. (Note: I don’t think I rock the hipster style quite this well.)
Besides the way the back stores your commuting essentials…
…I love the idea of a “ventilated back panel”, especially if it prevents soggy back syndrome. That’s what I’ve always hated about backpacks (and beyond cycling). No air on my back, ooey-gooey-soggy back/shirt. Blech! Yet I like the feeling of carrying gear in a backpack; more comfortable.
So, I hope this works. Whether I’ll pony up the ~$80 for this remains to be seen. I have a rather large collection of bags, and bringing home a new addition has been determined legally justification for kicking me in the shins.
