First try making a bike bag that fits in the frame. It's made out of boat cover fabric scraps that we get from a local sail maker. Its supposed to be waterproof. All big seams are lap seams because they are more water resistant as well (and also way more stable and pretty from the inside). The zippers are covered up with a fabric strip so that no water can enter that way. All straps are from the strap scrap bag! I like that the bag is partitioned in the middle, that keeps it from bulging to the side too much. There are some mistakes (mostly because I was lazy). The lap seams aren't perfect and the other side of the seam shows through in the middle in some places. The lacing on top is through pieces of straps and I accidentally sewed two of them into the side seams. I'm probably gonna rip that up again and free them, it bunches weirdly on top when I close the lacing right now. Gonna probably do more of these, it's super fun! I was heavily inspired by this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USX7pc-3Fac And I used a heavy-duty sewing machine that's available in our local open sewing workshop.

Bikepacking with your kid

Have a kid? Do you also love bikepacking ? Start them early and get them involved. I had a blast taking my 6 year old for his first bikepacking trip.

this bike came into the shop yesterday as a donation. the lady who brought it in said it was her late husbands bike that he rode from minnesota to alaska then to california (over 6000 miles) in the 80's.

a trip i can barely fathom now with the tech and gear we have now, yet he did it with homemade panniers and no gps!! what an amazing piece of local bicycling history.

the plan is to restore it while keeping as many original parts as we can and preserving it so the original owner can live on through it.

As a Hudski Doggler owner myself this gives me a tremendous sense of pride and jealousy. What an amazing adventure!

バイクパッキングを始めるためにそろえたもの

会津若松駅発着 猪苗代湖一周バイクパッキングのためにそろえたものと、もともと持っていて今回使ったものを紹介します。 猪苗代湖一周は、宿泊なしでもできてしまう距離感にはなりますが、バイクパッキングでの一周も選択肢のひとつとして魅力ある選択肢になると思います。 バイクパッキングをざっくり表現するなら、寝泊まりや食事を目的とした荷物を持って自転車で旅することになります。 今回は、そのためにそろえたものと、もともと持っていて使ったものを紹介します。 まずは自転車。これは、お気に入りのものを使ってください。クロスバイクやロードバイク、グラベルロードやアドベンチャーバイク、シクロクロスでしたら、今回のものが使えると思います。 次は、もともと持っていて、ふだんから使っているものです。 フレームバッグ（自転車の主たる部分を構成する三角形の部分に入る収納）が、フェアウェザー　corner…

Whether that place is here in the United States, a beautiful location in Europe, or somewhere else in the world, the trip is booked. However, you’ve decided that you’d rather not rent a bike.

Life is what happens...

John Lennon got it right. For better or worse.

“Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.” John Lennon from the song, Give Peace a Chance I love this quote by John Lennon.  I’ve always mused on it from the perspective of folks (including myself) who are too busy keeping up with “rat race” related concerns that they miss the beauty that is right in front of them. Until yesterday. As I was running around the house…
