Chicago Wig releases its new commuter bag aptly named The People’s Bag. With a tagline that is geared to servicing cyclists, the People’s Bag is lighter because it uses 1000 denier Cordura construction minus the vinyl lining.

Rumors spread sometime back that Breezer Bikes would release a 29er mountain bike in 2011. Two models would release, the Jet Stream, an aluminum MTB that comes in two different levels (Comp and Sport), and the Cloud 9 which is made of carbon fiber and also comes in two levels (Pro and Limited).

Looks like Target might be in a bit of trouble, as their brand “Room Essentials” otherwise known as RE Style has taken Steve MacDonald’s art for the Bicycle Film Festival 2009. On the left you see Target’s Bicycle print, and on the right is Steve MacDonald’s original print, although there are slight changes, overall the concept was stolen. It is common for large companies to take art and concepts from others, although it is far from being right. Sorry to hear about your frustration Steve, now it is time to submit a cease and desist.
