 Week In Review ~ 22 June

Welcome, folks, to the Week In Review. We’ve got a varied assortment of highlights, including some handy carry for cyclists, sleek ladies’ carry and a stylish option for work carry if you’re after something different from a backpack or standard messenger…

Handy hybrid

Week In Review ~ 22 June

Versatility in bags can allow you to either carry less or carry in different ways, as is the case with the Strawberry Pink Pannier/Backpack Hybrid from Vaya Bags. Available in two sizes (21.8 liters and 34.5 liters), this rolltop bag comes with some handy features including a waterproof lining, reflective side stripes for greater visibility whilst cycling, as well as a U-lock holder. The hybrid design enables you to utilize this bag as a pannier on your bike and then sling it onto your back once you’ve reached your destination.

Statement U-lock carry

Got a favorite cycling bag without a designated U-lock holder? Alternatively maybe you just don’t need to carry a bag all the time when you cycle? Well this leather U-lock holster from Walnut Studiolo might be a solution to your U-lock carry needs with its easy-access design and durable style thrown into the mix. There’s a choice of four vegetable-tanned leather colors to choose from and if you like a bit of customization on your carry you can even get it monogrammed.

Clean, classy aesthetics

Spanish style for the office
