Velorbis Bags

For a Dutch bicycle company, they sure make some cool bags. This might have to become a fall addition to my collection.

Now That's A Bike

The Velorbis Churchill Balloon

Perfect for tackling bumpy roads and curbs, the Churchill Balloon gents commuter bike is the robust, hard-wearing brother of the Churchill Classic bicycle model. With black Fat Frank balloon tyres from Schwalbe it rolls amazingly easily with full suspension effect. You can also upgrade your standard black Fat Frank tyres for distinctive cream or brown versions.

The Churchill Balloon upright retro bike comes complete with luxurious brown leather accessories by Brooks – saddle, handle grips and mud flaps. Additional features include mud guards, chain guard, enclosed 3W dynamo driven head lamp and dynamo driven rear lamp, integrated frame lock, kick stand, ‘ding dong’ bell and rear carrier.

The steel rear carrier has an innovative hook on the side so that you can carry laptop bags, gym bags or grocery bags on the side of your bicycle. When you place your bag handles over the hook and bring down the spring loaded top flap, a special locking mechanism ensures that your items are securely held in place when cycling.

This is my idea of a bike.

Even the accessories are cool.
