Tracko paid me thousands of dollars to shoot photos of the Tanner Goods “bike line” at the Ira Ryan booth during the 2012 NAHBS. When he texted me my contract to submit photos, I didn’t think it was that Tanner. I’ve got a belt and a wallet from them, both are top-notch. We’ve already seen the Ned Ludd cargo bike, sporting a few of these products, but Tracko’s got the EXCLUSIVE on the rest of the line. Head over to check the rest out.
I just wanted to add that I think cycling-related overlap with solid companies is a good thing, especially from Portland. If these bike accessories are anything like their wallets, they’ll be a worthy investment. Stay tuned.
I love SF but man, my allergies have been killing me since I’ve been here. My day began at the Rapha Cycle Club to see how some familiar faces but since I didn’t have a bike, I had to borrow a cruiser from Mission Workshop. While everyone told me to do “the wiggle” to the Marina, I just went up and over the range. Climbing on a triple with a long-reach is a piece of cake, especially with promenade bars. Doing so provided with some great vistas of the Bay and the cityscape. From there, I headed over back to the Mission for the Levi’s Commuter Party where I met the legendary Erik Zo of Zo Bags and kicked it with some old friends. It’s been a blast SF. Thanks for everything! See you at RideNStyle. Happy Friday everyone.

I’m a Ramblin’ Roll kinda man and while I could go on with a lengthy review, I’ll just say the Yanco and Tracko Ramblin’ Roll is the best ‘roll I’ve had. Head to Tracko for instructions, a review and purchasing information. They’re Flag Hatchet approved!
Edit: OK, I added some more photos below in case you need to see how it rolls up, etc…
Here’s the third episode from Chrome’s Cardiel Travel Series bags. As someone who’s on the road all the time, I can appreciate each of these bags and their functionality. This film (I can actually say that here) features the Fortnight.
YNOT Cycle threw a contest to name their new bag and the winning caption was “Tuck and Roll”. This lightweight, versatile backpack can literally be folded down and tucked anywhere. With a retail set at $90, it’s a great option for those on a budget. Check out a how-to diagram below and look for these on the YNOT Cycle site.
Mission Workshop continues to push their Arkiv system through innovative portage products. The Spring 2012 bags utilize a MOLLE-inspired design with the custom Arkiv sliding hardware. Looking good fellas!
