BIKND THE HELIUM BIKE CASE

Oh sweet, another great bike case to check out. If you remember, Cyclezine made a big fuss about travel with bikes over and over. When I saw the BIKND case, I was like yes, the dream come true. It looked really promising since I had tried almost every dam types of cases available, I also used cardboard and duck tape my bikes, I even shrink wrap my beater and throw it in the plane. This is it ladies and gentlemen.


THE HELIUM BIKE CASE The unique bicycle travel case equiped with air protection THE HELIUM BIKE CASE was created for globetrotters who travel with their bicycles on airplanes, trains or buses. Traveling with a bicycle has never been this simple: the Helium is light and easy to carry and its revolutionary inflatable padding offers unrivaled protection. Thanks to its minimal dimensions, it fits easily in the trunk of even the smallest cars. Every small detail has been looked into: the Helium bike case has special compartments for an extra wheelset and also for stowing you helmet, shoes and other essentials (pump, spare tubes, etc.) Developed with the input of pro cyclists, whose lives involve frequent air travel with bikes, The Helium is simply the best bike case on the market today. The Helium case is light, offers unsurpassed protections against impacts and allows you to pack your bike with only minor disassembly and without changing the adjustment of its components. With progressive ideas, we developed a bike case offering superior function, simplicity and performance.

Archival Clothing Custom Vanilla

Our friend from Archival Clothing just posted about her recently acquired Vanilla on the blog. I am so drool over all the little details that had been carefully crafted on the bike.

“Acquiring the Vanilla was a bit like mail ordering from the future. I submitted a deposit in 2006 and took delivery in September 2010. The bike is a bit of a Rivendell remake (more Herzog’s Nosferatu, less Van Sant’s Psycho). I switched over from 650b to 700c tires, requested lighter weight tubing and integrated lights, rack and fenders. Sacha White, the bike’s builder, was kind enough to borrow a mandrel to give my front fork a nice, low radius bend (à la française).”

 

Be sure to head over and really see it for your self. HERE!!! And don’t blame me if you start to fancy all the goodies at their Online Store. cos they are real gem.
