How to Attach a Timbuk2 to a Bike
Timbuk2 manufactures heavy duty, durable bags for bike messengers and other cycling enthusiasts. Timbuk2 bags are easily recognized by their three-panel front flap with a small swirl logo embroidered in the lower corner. While some cyclists do not mind carrying a heavy bag on their backs, others prefer to keep the weight of their gear off their bodies. Panniers attach to the sides of a bicycle's back wheel and make it easy for cyclists to carry cargo. Timbuk2 now makes messenger bags that can be worn across the body or easily attached to a pannier rack on a bike. The company also makes smaller bags that can be attached to a seatpost.
