Mission Workshop Introduces the “Shed”
A Rolltop Messenger Bag

Mission Workshop is a San Francisco based company located in the heart of the Mission District. With over 15 years experience designing and manufacturing bags, packs and clothing, Mission Workshop is proud to introduce “the Shed”, the first roll-top messenger bag.

The Shed’s flap can be closed and buckled in a traditional manner or rolled to create a watertight closure that allows easy access to outside cargo compartments. Additional features include a zippered compartment perfect for laptops, a fully padded reversible shoulder strap with accessory attachment points and anodized aluminum buckles that allow for simple single-handed adjustment.

Coming in at just over 2,150 cubic inches or 8 gallons, the Shed is perfectly suited for daily use while still providing plenty of room for an occasional cargo run. Bottom line, The Shed is lightweight, indestructible and is the perfect companion for navigating the busy streets.

Manufactured in the USA with a lifetime warrantee.

LAPD officers accused of clashing with bicyclists relieved of field duty during probe

So, I've been holding off talking about this, until the dust settled. (some what) I still really don't want to comment on it, people who know me, know how I feel about the large group rides, and share the same thoughts. They serve a function, and are great ways to introduce people to bike culture. That's where it ends for me. There are other elements in the LA bike world that serve to fuck those functions up. If you ride in LA you know what they are. It's time for us to police ourselves and say no more to these groups fucking our rides up and how we appear to the Non-Bike community. It doesn't really surprise me at all with what happened on CM, this past Friday. It's been building up to that for awhile. Now I'm not taking any one side, I just want both sides to take a step back see how we can work together, to insure it doesn't happen again. We are at a junction with cars and bikes. It can only get better or worse from here. We really need, as a community to come together and show that we're more then just a roving party, or street racers or just silly kids on bikes. We have the power, we just need to use it right. Maybe it's time that CM has served it's purpose in LA. We can't run it correctly and it's causing more harm then good. Just put it to bed for a bit, get some strong leadership at the helm and riders who want run it right. There are many other cities who have CM who have great relationships with the Police and motorist's, CM is looked upon as a positive thing, not this ugly monster that rears its ugly head once a month.

Here's the LA time's Link so you know what's happening and what happened.
PS: Be careful out there the next few weeks, shit will be hitting the fan for us because of this...
