Recycling is Rad: messenger bags


A number of people asked me about the messenger bag I was wearing last night. I was proud to tell them that my wife, Bekah made it. What's more, she made it of recycled plastic bags and caution tape. The caution tape came from the small scraps from the Grumpy's/LGR Cyclocross race this fall.


She takes plastic bags destined for the trash and fuses them together to create a super tough plastic fabric. If you'd like to see more or contact her about getting one made for you, you can contact her at:

About half of the bags she makes are custom ordered, so if you have preferences, she can ususally accommodate. You can see some in person at the CRC coffee shop and Re-gifts.

You'll be seeing more and more of these around. They rule.
