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.) |
Video #1:I put together a little video demonstrating with my "invisible bag" how the DockIt™ and Raclips work. Video #2:In this second exciting installment I show how a real bag is mounted to the bike! |
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 to the base of your bag and can be used on either new or existing bags. They 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. 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. Read more here |
Read:
I 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). |
From the heart of Vermont to a bicycle near you!
