The TCB reviewed by the legendary Jim Langley, bicycle aficionado and all-round nice guy:  http://www.jimlangley.net REVIEW of the TCB in RoadBikeRider.com How much of a coup is this? Let me tell you - you're talking to a readership of 63,000 largely male, largely hardcore roadies, many of whom wouldn't carry so much as a spare tube let alone the air to fill it if they flatted mid-sprint.  RBR's resident mirthman Scott Martin ("Scott's Spin") wrote about this breed some time ago in his hilarious In the Bag  piece. Excerpt: *Minimalist*. Seat bag contains: ---1 tube with valve cap and stem nut removed to save weight ---1 tire iron ---1 glueless patch ---1 CO2 cartridge (or mini-pump not exceeding 2.5 inches in length) Motto: "Don't you know how much a hex wrench weighs?" *Leech*.

Grace Lichtenstein - cyclist, blogger and former NYT journo recently reviewed the TCB on her blog: http://www.cyclingforboomers.com/search?q=traffic+cone+bag Thank you Grace! You summed it up to a T(CB). One aspect she didn't mention was its Made-in-Americaness, for which I am very proud.  Here's why (for Fastcompany.com) I'm starting to receive emails from spambots telling me that someone in China will make similar bags for $1.28 per one hundred - about 20 times cheaper than I get them made. Tempting? Not at all. I may never get rich but I'm glad to be stimulating the local economy. Grace wows 'em at the Hudson Guild All about the TCB
