I started Road Runner Bags in my early 20's with a home sewing machine and a lot of energy. Who would have thought that some 9 years later we would be kicking so hard. We're still producing 100% of our gear in-house, here in Los Angeles. The images below are of myself, Brad, working on a few different machines in the shop.

Enjoy these images shot by my friend Tin. He's a radical photographer with quite an eye for light. He shoots what he sees, and I'm happy he was looking my way.

Be sure to follow Tin's Instagram as he's always posting up rad stories about his shooting adventures.

She's a local photographer, rider and all out badass. She can hold it down in the dirt and definitely knows how to party. 

Enjoy her work and stay tuned for more to come.

Back in the Spring of 2017, Ester and I set out on an urban photo mission with the goal of capturing the moment just as we saw it. As I'm sure you can tell, Ester (aka WifeEye) and I make a stellar team. She's amazing at doing the tedious photo work behind the lens while I'm working labor manning the cargo bike to which she rides on the back of. Our rider Sonja, is rocking a Medium Roll Top - Classic in the limited edition color of Coral. Everyone loved that color but sadly that just wasn't enough to keep it in our line with the 12 other color options we offer. 

The composition of the photos really demonstrates Ester's raw talent. Her eye for color and her ability to see through the madness to get to it. If you've ever photographed a moving subject, then you understand the difficulties. Adding the element of the city and the moving subject being a swift cyclist, then the raw talent really comes to life. Ester, being mounted atop the back of my Bike Friday Cargo Bike, adds a touch of realness to these photos that are not displayed in most action shots.

To many more photo shoots in 2019 as well as a safe year on the bike. Cheers y'all!

If you're in LA and lookin' for a good ride then consider yourself lucky. LA is full of amazing car-free trails to cycle up and down. Now when I say up, I literally mean up!

One of my favorite rides is out in the Angeles National Forest. 

Your ride begins at the upper parking lot near JPL. From there you cycle through the Gabrielino Trail and up Fern Truck Trail until you reach the top. From there you'll descend down everything you climbed but with a little extra credit thrown in at the end. Follow my route and you'll be sure to have a great time.

I wouldn't call this a beginner route and I strongly encourage every rider to do their own research before being thrown into the mix. If you like climbing you'll love this route. If descending is your jam, then prepare to climb. As the topographic map shows, there is equal amounts of elevation gain and loss.
