Bags, Baskets, and Bells

Being a utility-oriented shop, Joe Bike carries more bags and baskets than we can list here. Our favorites are bags (and racks) from Axiom (lifetime satisfaction guarantee), bags from Ortlieb (5-year warranty), and the Swift Industries Pelican bag, handmade in Seattle, which will turn your Porteur rack into the contented mule it was meant to be.

If you feel self-conscious screaming “On your left!” on the Esplanade, be un-American and get a bell. Preferably a friendly ding-dog bell that makes the people on your right smile. Or, better yet, a Crane brass bell with such a beautiful ring that pedestrians will ask you to do it again and again.
