Out of the loop

Its been a while since I posted on here. In between moving from Hawaii to the Bay and working to much and riding motorcycles and skateboarding, I haven't rode a bicycle in a little while. But now I've moved to Atlanta and there is a velodrome only a few miles away.

So besides getting a new bike,




What messenger bag should i get?

Bikes: many bikes

Forget the bag. You should be asking what tires you need to replace the ones that are dry rotted.

No, the messenger bag definitely comes first.

I'd get a Timbuk2 if I were you. They're kind of hard to find though.

i have a timbuk2 and a chrome. i like the chrome a lot better - hugs your body better and the fact that the chrome is mossy oak let me exercise the inner redneck in me.

Don't bother with a Timbuk. The ones from the Gap are much better.

Ha! yeah the bag line was a joke. I know how everyone in here gets about them. I don't need a bag, just a bike.
