Timbuk2 Bikes to Work

Earth Day Recycling

Westley's Bag

One of our biggest fans Westley decided it was time to let go… “In honor of Earth Day I’ve decided to recycle one of my bags from my ridiculously large Timbuk2 collection. This was one of my very first Timbuk2 bags. It has been on a lot of journeys with me but now it’s time [...]

Polk Street for Bikes

Polk Street Bike Access

Many of us at Timbuk2 commute to work by bike and among these commuters quite a few of them take the Polk street Gulch down towards the Mission. While not as crazy as as riding down three lanes of traffic on Van Ness, Polk street certainly isn’t your quaint cycling corridor–in fact, once a month [...]

Red Hook Roundup

Celebrating the win! Evan and Neil on the podium poppin' bottles.

We’re back in San Francisco after a phenomenal time out at the Red Hook Criterium at Brooklyn’s Cruise Terminal.

The time has come. The riders are here and they’re ready to go. There’s been so much anticipation for the Crit this year and we can really tell how far this event has come from its initial roots. There certainly is a bit of tension in the air as riders must first qualify to be [...]

Timbuk2 in NYC

Brooklyn Bridge

We’ve landed in New York, dropped of our bags and hit the road as we prepare for the start of the Red Hook Crit. Today we met with Neil Bezdek who lent us his steed to ride around the Big Apple. We headed to Brooklyn across the Brooklyn Bridge to meet with David Trimble, the [...]

Gettin’ Ready for the Crit

Evan Murphy at Grant Tomb Criterium

By Evan Murphy: Grants Tomb Criterium is NYC’s first big race of the season, put on by Columbia University’s cycling team and the Century Road Club Association, it is a great tune-up for the early races yet to come. I was glad I could fit my tool roll, spare clothes, food, and race wheels comfortably [...]
