This is not an official endorsement for Mission Workshop, since I have neither worn nor showered with their bags, but the promo videos for their products are beautifully shot cycling videos filmed in you-know-where, so check ‘em out.

I swear, straight boys are so fetishy about the silliest things. Narcissism incarnate.
You know, I don’t disagree that boys are into silly things. I just spent about 30 minutes hovering on the “buy” button for a new iPhone, for example, only to decide I wasn’t patient enough to wait 3 weeks. Of course, this makes zero sense because I did the same thing 3 weeks ago.
But are bicycles (which are used for narcissistic things like “transportation”) and messenger bags (again, arrogantly used for “carrying lots of things”) really good examples of that?
Well, in my post places, bicycles aren’t seen as billboards advertising the rider’s inclusion in a particular social milieu as they are here. Of course, leave it to the supposed non-materialistic and “down-to-earth” people of SF to make a shitshow out of something as pedestrian as bicycling. They do the same with food too. I blame it east coast trustfunders.
This gay boy must admit that he is creaming his jeans over that Vandal backpack.
So easy a caveman could do it.
good call on getting the groceries at la loma. i used to shot at the joint closer to mission st. — casa thai — but on that block, la loma has far superior produce and the dudes that work there are hella cool.
just sayin’
that should say “shop” not “shot”
also, i wouldn’t leave my bike unlocked on that stretch, one of my homies got her bike ganked from the bike racks inside(!) the wells fargo next to the bart
epic dismounts for captain caveman bro. cool they showed me how to use a backpack (i.e. put stuff in it).
LOL @ not locking the bike during that first silent film-esque piece. I really was expecting drama when he stepped out – a spirited, hilarious foot-chase in which he ends up tossing the backpack down to use as a sort of skateboard while bumper-surfing down valencia, then ending up at the top of the hill and backpack-surfing down only to catch up with the bicycle thieves before hilariously nearly-missing two men carrying a sheet of plate glass across the road, just before the piano falls out the window
once he didn’t lock up his bike I could no longer suspend my disbelief. nice tint on that video though – looked really cool.
