Onda bike trunks

Onda is a Boulder based spin off brand of a company that designs hard shell spare tire covers for SUVs and automotive arm rests. They launched at Interbike 2011 with their bike trunks and trailers. Very attractive.

The trunks lock for somewhat secure storage of your goodies, and also have a quick release so you can strap the trunk to your back to carry into the store or class if you want.

Trailers are lockable hard shell as well. In spite of the ABS contruction, they weigh only about a pound more than similar capacity soft trailers.

Interbike 2011 fashion show photos

I’m in Las Vegas for Interbike 2011. I have plenty of good product material for you all, but it’s late so for now I’ll just dump the Momentum Magazine fashion show photos for your viewing enjoyment. Sorry about the lack of editing and captioning on these, but if I don’t get these out now I never will.
