Empire just posted this amazing cycling video of a cycling daredevil careening down New York City streets on his bike.
The song here is “Drive” by Rafale.
Review: Chrome Warsaw messenger backpack
October 6, 2009 @ 10:12 pm
A few weeks ago, Chrome graciously provided a Chrome Warsaw bag for me to test out on the streets of New York City — to get a good feel of how tough this bag is, how much it could carry, and how much of a beating it can take on the back of a city cyclist like me. Let me just start off by saying that this bag can carry A LOT.
And that’s not exaggerating. This bag can hold so much stuff that even when I’ve packed everything that I needed into it, the bag still managed to look half full. In fact, if I ever need to know what bag can hold 12 pairs of shoes (that’s 24 individual shoes if you’re counting) then I’ve found my candidate. Or if I need to hold an entire week’s worth of groceries in one bag on my back, the Warsaw does the job exceptionally well without giving me back pain. Or if I needed to pack 3-4 individual lunch coolers into one bag (not that I ever would), I know what bag will do the job. If you aren’t getting it by now, just know that this bag holds more than I ever need in one single trip.
But that’s what makes the Chrome Warsaw so appealing to me. That it can hold more than I would ever need. And for a person like me who always wants to be prepared to carry any item of any size without worrying about it falling out of the bag when I’m biking, this is the pack I want to own and have on my back. Read on inside to see the full review.

Remember the Seal Line Urban Backpack that I reviewed last week? Well, Chrome just sent me a bag (along with some shoes) today that make the Urban Backpack look like a fanny pack.
Stay tuned for a full review of the bag shown above!

Incase Coated Canvas Shoulder Bag

This Fall, Incase is unleashing a set of fantastic coated canvas bags that look sleek, stylish, and durable. Shown above is one of the three bags that will be in the set. This one is the coated canvas shoulder bag which comes in both black and dark green and sells for $100. If you have a 15″ MacBook Pro, this shoulder bag will conveniently carry that size laptop in its padded and protected interior.
The coated exterior is weather-resistant and should last for quite a long time under normal wear and use. This is definitely a bag you can take with you on a business meeting or on a casual day out. LOVE IT.
R.E.Load Sprint messenger bag in teal purple
August 2, 2009 @ 1:47 pm
My friend Lee asked me about messenger bags just now which made me go ahead and browse the bags over at R.E.Load. As far as I know, they are the other popular messenger bag company next to Chrome when it comes to gear that real messengers use (I’m sure there are plenty of others, but Chrome and R.E.Load are the most commonly seen by me).
Shown above is the R.E.Load Sprint messenger bag, a “light-weight” messenger bag alternative, sporting a highly visible teal and purple color. I would love to have this bag and beat it around on my daily commute. It’s available for a very reasonable $112 which I’m sure will carry you and your cargo a long way (as R.E.Load bags are known to do).
Check out the rest of their bag line for different sizes. I’m sure you’ll find one that fits your commute and lifestyle just right.
