Hawaiian-born fashion designer Alexandra Cassaniti takes her surf style to the street with a silk-screen printed bicycle bag.
Adding a touch of style, the unisex adjustable bag is fastened to your handlebars by two leather straps while a sturdy zipper keeps your contents secure inside the pouch. Available in Cassaniti's original "Striped" or "Hairy" patterns, the 100% cotton, limited-edition bags are handmade in Minnesota.
The bag's details include a small leather pocket in the front for holding coins and small objects, and small brass rings on each end of the 14-inch long canvas bag, perfect for hanging your keys while en route. Durable yet fashionable, it's a great companion both on your bike and off.
The bicycle bag is available for purchase for $120 from Ooga Booga or Alexandra Cassaniti's websites.

With the new Covert model, Timbuk2 expands on their classic three-panel messenger design with a few interesting twists. Namely, the fabric appears normal in daylight but it's specially engineered to be amazingly reflective in the dark, making wearers perfectly visible and, curiously, not very covert. (Click image to see the fabric in detail.)With a modified design, the San Francisco-based company appeals to bike messengers,...
An homage to the city of New York and its avid bike riding community, fuseproject's NYC helmet caters to urban cyclists' fashion sense while promoting a greener environment.

Blending seamlessly, the cohesive design allows the wearer to remove the shell...
Today's bike culture is all about customization, and cw&t's new Blockhead Bike Stem does just that. Carved out of a solid block of 7075 aluminum, the indestructible stem affixes handlebars in style. Focusing on ways we construct space, Che-Wei Wang and Taylor Levy—the Pratt Institute architecture professors that make up cw&t—perfectly exemplify this with their small but powerful component. The Blockhead Stem is available...
