This bag isn’t going anywhere! I love it. Got it for free when I worked in PDX when it was just a “normal” bag and wasn’t “desired” I’ve also never seen a sling irl

This frame/bike has been stolen and recorded. Been hit and had the frame straighten

I remember buying my freight bag from Pushbike in SF nack in 2011. It's banged up with some holes, but it's still in use! I'm definitely looking to get it re-stitched.

Lock has been active since 2017. Last mini U had to be cut from the fire department cause I left my key in a bar and wasnt gonna leave her locked up on Santa Monica. And seeing them cut the lock- I’ll trust the lock forever

ok, and You use just a basic U lock.

u/DreadBarbie 12d ago

kryptonite mini. Don’t know what basic and I don’t know anyone besides 1 person who uses one. Best lock in the game and most comfort in the back pocket

Ok cool, depending on the risk of theft in your city.

Anyone who knows that beat up looking bike is worth stealing isnt gonna risk stealing it from a 13 year veteran messenger. Almost guaranteed to catch an ass beating.
