Okay so not the greatest of blog titles.....I have wanted one of these for a long while and about a month ago my dreams came true. Tired of wearing a pack for my 28 mile r/t commute and not wanting to deal with the heft of racks and panniers I waited anxiously for my friends at Swift Industries to dial in designs on their Saddle bag or as I like to refer to it, my seat trunk. If you are not familiar with Swift you should be, it is made up of Jason and Martina, two wonderful people who I am fortunate to have a part of my world. Running out of the spare bedroom, living room and a little into the kitchen and entrance to their home, they build each bag to order based on your color preference, oh did I mention the do panniers, seat trunks aka saddle bags and portuer bags. Jason had asked me what colors I wanted and after 2 months of indecision I decided on this one, The Sum of its Parts designed in conjunction with PartyBots out of Seattle.

The best addition yet to my bike. I couldn't think of more deserving people to support.

Some cool link for you. The Path Less Pedaled one is pretty great!

A little something about Swift: PathLessPedaled - Swift Industries

Bellingham isn't the biggest of cities but has proved to be just about right for me nice scenery, good people, yummy icecream, temperate climate and lots of bicycles. Shortly after the move I signed up my first shop, Fairhaven Bike and Ski in my new home. Since then they have been representing the brand like champs, selling through Rubens like crazy.  Here's a pic of a few of the new ones they just brought in. See that Curry Ruben? How hot is that? It's the first pic I've got from one of our shops. Big ups to the crew over at Fairhaven, thanks for all your support!!
