Posted: January 31, 2013 Filed under: Bags Leave a comment
Saw a post pop up from Zugster Bags when I finally check my RSS reader this afternoon.
“Yes, it’s true, I’m back at the sewing machine for 2013. The six month hiatus somehow turned into two years — that’s life, I guess.
The store just went live with Two messenger bags and 8 rolltop totes, plus some assorted tool bags, all ready to ship right away. I’ll be continuing to update the store as I produce more stock. The second batch will include a couple of deluxe messengers, an errand bag or two, and some rando bags.”
So Zugster is back for 2013. Check out the new stuff here

COLLECTED: Road Runner Scrap Hip Bag
Posted: March 31, 2012 Filed under: Accessories, Bags, Collected, Reviews Leave a comment
Back in October I got an email from Brad asking if I would like to review one of his hip bags. I was pretty much keen as a bean. So after receiving it in November, a few months off, a bit of travel and a bit of testing it’s time I finally review it.
The bag I received was the scrap bag. These were made from what the name suggests, scraps. This means every bag is unique and being a massive indie hipster kid that’s perfect for me.
First impressions were how colourful it was and just how much you can fit into such a small bag without it being uncomfortable.
After a ride or two with it. I went travelling over to the eastern states for a week or so. I knew it would come handy in some aspect. So it became my bag of those little travels items that you need to be able to get at some point without rummaging through your bags. Toothbrush, medication, coinage, spare keys and deodorant ending up in there and it was just perfect. Easy to find with it’s bright colours and the size was just perfect.
The finer aspects of the bag. Measures 6″ long, 2″ wide and 7″ high. Features a waterproof liner, key loop, a small internal divider and u lock holder on the outside. 2 loops to fit on belts with ease. (This has now been changed to one larger loop.)
Thanks to Brad for the bag. Check out Road runner bags over at WordPress and the Bigcartel. Bags are super cheap in comparison to most other companies so well worth checking out if your in need.
