VIDEO: Preston hamming it up with his iPad, Bike Friday and  Traffic Cone Bag


League of American Bicyclists Education Director Preston Tyree has been toting his Traffic Cone Bag since 2010. He uses it to get to and from meetings in safety and sartorial style, and finds it useful for carrying his iPad and keyboard.

"It's my iBag!" he proclaims in the above clip, shot during a LAB Bike Ed program I attended in Albuquerque. "The bag is great. It doesn't look like a iPad carry bag so I don't feel so exposed when I am carrying it ... "

He's since written this review of the Traffic Cone Bag on his new blog, Cyclist in the Lane. Muchas gracias, Preston!

She was so pleased with the design, workmanship, and usefulness. - Joseph Lauren Hefferon, principal of multi-award-winning Friday Friendly bicycle tour company Cicilsmo Classico , says: Ciao Lynette.

Citibike: Is that a helmet in your TCB (or are you just pleased to ride with me?)

Is that a helmet in your Traffic Cone Bag?  With the Citibike bikeshare program taking New York by storm, I've discovered a new use for the Traffic Cone Bag: carrying your helmet AND stayin' alive! Despite being a DFNC (double folder no car) gal I have joined the Citibike program , as I described in detail on my Galfromdownunder Upover blog . What's not to love about a ride-it-and-ditch-it personal cab for just $ 95 155/year?' But what to do about helmets? Some places are renting them out  - does a lice protector come with that?

Large or small? Depends on what you want to carry! NOTE! Since 2011, both TCB's now come with a vertical reflective strip . See photo below.  In 2009, I introduced a larger Traffic Cone Bag size. The specs for the new, larger "Guyfromdownunder" (for want of a better term) version, pictured above left, are: 15" wide x 18" deep 3/4" webbing straps Orange pockets are deeper and wider to take larger water bottles (and rolled up issues of Carbon Fiber Enthusiast?) Black pocket is 13" wide x 14" deep - holds an unfolded copy of the New York Times (or Sydney Morning Herald, or Chicago Tribune - you get the idea) The specs for the original, smaller "Galfromdownunder"  pictured right, are: 13" wide by 17" deep Slender,  1/2" lighter webbing straps Orange pockets take regular water bottles Black pocket is 11" wide x 13" deep - holds holds a manila folder or several standard trashy magazines Both f...
