Lately it feels like the ground under everyday life is shifting.

Fuel prices jump without warning. Groceries seem to cost more every month. Entire industries rise and fall faster than anyone expects. Even when the broader economy appears stable, there is a quiet sense that many of the systems we depend on are more fragile than they once seemed.

Most of these forces operate at a global scale and are far beyond the influence of any individual household. Oil markets move according to geopolitics and international demand. Supply chains shift. Prices fluctuate whether we like it or not.

Now here’s the part that’s inconvenient for the internet. After spending time on Bike Insights and overlaying geometry charts like a true cycling nerd does, the new Marin Kentfield 3 looks… almost identical in the ways that matter. Head tube angle? In the same stable range. Reach and stack? Right there. Wheelbase? Calm. Predictable. Not trying to win a criterium. Rack mounts in the right place? Yup.

Its a backpack! It’s a pannier!

The Vario Lite seamlessly combines a waterproof backpack and a practical bicycle bag, offering ultimate flexibility and functionality. With its innovative roll-top closure and Quick-Lock mounting system, it's the perfect choice for commuters, touring cyclists, and everyday adventurers.

Featuring a clever, reversible Powernet flap, the Vario Lite allows you to switch between backpack and bike bag modes in seconds. Both the shoulder straps and Quick-Lock system are fully covered, maintaining a clean and streamlined design in any configuration.

This lightweight version of the proven Vario stands out with its tear- and abrasion-resistant nylon fabric, ergonomic carrying system, and thoughtfully designed interior, including a padded laptop compartment. A sturdy carrying handle and integrated reflectors enhance convenience and safety.

Built for those who demand versatility, comfort, and durability, the Vario Lite ensures you're always ready—whether on your bike or on your back. Like all ORTLIEB products, it is proudly manufactured in Germany with the highest standards of quality and repairability.

Surly Skid Loader is a capable all season commuter, family cargo bike, hunting and fishing approach vehicle, and long range touring bike.

It’s Cargo Christmas over here with the arrival of the first batch of Yuba Fastrack arriving. We were first alerted to this new bike almost a year ago but the covid-related shipping disruptions kept it from arriving until now.

It was worth the wait.

Imagine a cute but powerful, responsive, well appointed, customizable, 400+lbs of hauling whatever you can imagine electric vehicle that you can park in the same space as a coat rack? Oh, it will also fit people from 4’11” up to 6’1” and it only costs about 10 cents to “fill” too.

This bike falls into the cargo category commonly known as a midtail. Not as long as a longtail (think Yuba Mundo or Surly Big Easy) but just as capable. The rear rack can accept up to 2 Thule Yepp Maxi Seats for toddlers. Or set it up with a set of Monkeybars or The Ring for older kids. Lots of kid hauling potential.
