Back to School with Broadway


Summer is almost over and as quickly as August rolled in so do the students. Outfit your bicycle with panniers made by Ortlieb or ride in style with a Bailey Works messenger bag or backpack as you carry all those books to class and groceries back to the dorm room.



Ortilieb Panniers from Germany are waterproof and made to carry everything from groceries, to books, and some models even are designed for your laptop. Sold in pairs in various colors, don't be caught in a rainstorm without them whether its your commute home or a month long excursion.

Baileyworks from New Hampshire makes some of the best messenger bags around and now offer backpacks for those who prefer the two strap style. Waterproof and tough enough for messengers who wear them forty hours a week year round they come in various sizes from a day bag to weekend.
