Onda bike trunks

Richard MasonerSeptember 15, 20117 Comments on 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 2009 fashion show

Richard MasonerAugust 26, 20095 Comments on Interbike 2009 fashion show

Watch for the second annual Urban Legend Fashion and Art Show, presented by Giant Bicycles, at Interbike 2009 on the show floor, Thursday, September 24 at 5:00 p.m.

Short skirt and bicycle “Interbike uses the Urban Legend Fashion Show to showcase the industry’s growing enthusiasm for urban cycling and the exciting products that the segment supports,” said Rich Kelly, Interbike marketing manager. “As with all of the products exhibited at Interbike, urban cycling gear and apparel is best appreciated in action.”

Instead of a traditional catwalk, a road loop surrounded by bicycle-inspired art will be laid out on the main show floor in hall D of the Sands Expo Center. The Urban Legend audience will gather in and around the loop while models ride through it. The innovative layout allows attendees “front-row seats” to watch the models show off the function and fashion of urban bikes and cycling apparel.

Boy on Bike: Urban Legends Fashion Show Interbike 2008 Las Vegas “We loved what Interbike did with the fashion show last year and thought sponsoring it this year would be a great way for Giant to highlight its new lifestyle products,” said Elysa Walk, general manager of Giant Bicycles. “There is a lifestyle boom taking place in the consumer market and Giant wants to be part of it.”

Inspired and styled by Momentum Magazine, the Urban Legend Fashion and Art Show will be a celebration of urban sustainability, culture and style. Highlights will include stylish, smart, sexy and professional clothing for every season that fits into everyday life and works great on a bike. Instead of typical athletic shorts and jerseys, models will sport practical urban and casual cycling wear while riding urban, folding, utilitarian and commuting bikes.

To complement the cycling fashion on the runway, cycling-inspired art by a variety of artists will be on display at the fashion show venue.

Girl on bicycle: Urban Legends Fashion Show Product submissions for possible inclusion in the Urban Legend Fashion and Art Show are due no later than September 9. To make a submission, send a completed product submission form and lo-res photo to Mia Kohout at mia@momentumplanet.com. For art submissions, please send an email to at Thomas Prehn at thomasprehn@me.com.
