March seems to be a good month for bicycle related stuff.

So if you want one of the biggest bike parties around the country, make sure to come over to the wonderful ciddy of Hamburg. After 10 years, the St.Paulopoly died last year, but there are people who try to keep the spirit alive and continue the story of more than 200 riders from all over the world crossing the Reeperbahn at night, get drunk and party hard til dawn! Two alleycats, a polo competition, good people, Hamburg Ciddy and party party party…

INSIDE LINE EQUIPMENT

Sebastian — Tue, 30 Aug 2011 06:58:41 +0000

Finding a suitable bag is really really hard. No matter if you are a Messenger, a Photographer or Traveller. Maybe you just to need something for all of these activities. Since i’m a photographer i’m always searching for the best bag to fit my needs. At the moment i’m using a LOWEPRO Pro Trekker. Which is awesome, but it is just great to carry all my gear around, use it and then get back home. There is not really room to fit a Macbook, groceries or maybe some Apparel. So when you are on the bike or do day trips, this bag is not really the first choice. Also Chrome released a kind of photobag the last weeks, but i don’t comment on this. So is there a chance to find a bag, which is able to carry gear for a day trip, also got space for parts of the camera equipment, is good to carry on and off bike? There are tons of possibilities and a endless list of companies who tried to built something for this. Most of those bags are boring and to be honest, I really like to have something unique and sometimes those small details are important. Big companies often lose focus on small details and with my individual needs.
To make it short, i discovered “INSIDE LINE EQUIPMENT” from San Francisco. Eric is making technical bags from the view of cyclists. It is not performance roadwear and of course there are no messenger bags in his catalog. But there are enough companies who serve these products. Eric founded “ILE” to produce some really hi-tech backpacks. He uses the industrial standard materials and from the pictures on his website, i would say he got a really new take on this photo bag topic and also seems to have a lot sewing skills. These bags look really well thought and well made.
Would really love to try out his Ultimate Photographers Bag on my next jobs and bike trips. It’s construction looks really simple, but seems to be well thought. The bottom compartment offers space for a camera + lenses + flash and the padding is removable. The side pocket allows to carry a tripod and the top compartment takes a Macbook and also some more stuff. It closes with a waterproof roll-top. The whole bag is waterproof, even the zippers are sealed. I bet there is much more to say about it, but i don’t want to speculate. So i just mention that he also builts normal backpacks, rack bags, accessories and i’ll bet he wil come up with more stuff in the future.

His products are really worth a look, so head over to his website, webshop and support this.
Also check this neat video he made for this Ultimate Photographer Bag.
