To celebrate Bike Month, Timbuk2 has diverted some prior year’s Bike to Work banners from the landfill and turned them into limited edition messenger bags. Only 100 will be made and $50 from each one goes to the San Francisco Bike Coalition. Each one’s a bit different thanks to the banners having been hung throughout the city in the past, receiving wear and tear and such, but they’ve been cleaned up before getting cut and sewn. Get yours here.
More events and things from Timbuk2 during May listed after the break…
UPDATE: More new stuff from Timbuk2 that we saw at Sea Otter posted after the break.
- The Official Bike from Work Party – Nothing screams party than an actual party. San Francisco Bicycle Coalition’s Annul Bike from Work Day Party and Fashion Show is Thursday, May 12 at the DNA Lounge in San Francisco. Bikers from all paths can enjoy custom top-tubes sewn on the spot by Timbuk2, a fashion show styled by Gwendolyn Lee Productions, booze, prizes and more. Party starts from 6 p.m. – 10 p.m.
- Timbuk2 launches one of San Francisco’s FIRST Bike Share Program. Offered at T2’s retail store in Hayes Valley, guests and travelers have access to a GLOBE bicycle, Bern helmet, Timbuk2 messenger bag and T2 trail maps – the basic essentials to hit the road biking. Rentals are free and are only available during store hours.
- Complimentary Bike Tune-Ups – Pedal Revolution will offer free-bike tune ups every last Friday of the month at T2’s retail store in Hayes Valley. Perfect timing for San Francisco’s Critical Mass.
