Finely Crafted Cycling Gear
Made one bag at a time
Riding a bike is an adventure, whether around the bend, or around the world and a Waxwing bag is ready to serve your adventure with equal measures of style, function, and reliability. Waxwing Bag Co is where inspiration and craftsmanship meet.
Listen:
Ahead of the New England Builders' Ball Waxwing Bag Co was interviewed by Diane Jenks of The Outspoken Cyclist. It was great fun to talk about what I do, how I got into bag making, what I love about it, and where I'm headed. Give it a listen here. (The Waxwing portion of the interview starts at minute 37:00.) |
New:
We are excited to now have RaClips available for purchase. These make joining your handlebar bag to your rack a snap (well, actually a slide). They are simple to install and can be used on either new or existing bags and make securing your bag to your rack simple and hassle-free. Get the details here. Clips ordered with a bag avoid shipping costs. |
Testing:
We recently enjoyed a cycling journey through the mountains and peninsulas of southwest Ireland. This was an excellent opportunity to try out my new handlebar bag and a set of roll-top panniers I had made earlier. Both performed great and I was grateful for the hard test they received. Making and using are two distinct aspects of bringing a bag to fruition and its important to get that immediate feedback that extended, repeated, hard use can bring. I look forward to implementing my observations going forward. |

I recently collaborated with Peter Weigle on a new and innovative take on the classic randonneuring bag--what's come to be known as the Weigle Sportif. It was an exciting project for me personally, and a compelling development in the options available for riders. Go here to get the story. (Medium and tall bags shown). |
