VO Porteur racks are back in stock. They’re a great rack for commuting bikes since they can hold a lot and can easily take additional load if you have to grab something on the way home.  They’re also very beautiful.

Christmas has come early at Commuter Cycles. Cathy from Ron D Swan dropped in today with their latest invention – the Commuter Pannier. Aside from looking the business, it has an ingenius mounting system and shoulder strap which means that the pannier doubles as a funky bag when it’s off the bike. It also has a PVC inner making it completely waterproof, and a front pocket so you don’t lose your wallet and keys.

All Ron D Swan gear is handstitched in Melbourne and made from a combination of reclaimed and new materials. Learn more here.

We’re also stocking their great legbands and reflective vests. The legbands come in a range of colours and all feature two reflective strips, so they save your life as well as your trousers. The vests have an extra large waist strap so you can wear it over you back pack. Clever really.
