I recently tried out "extreme commuting," the current trend that Jus also featured on his blog.
I headed to our usual mountain to ride mountain bikes with Jus, who is currently obsessed with "mountain love."
The sunrise when we arrived was so beautiful that I naturally found myself taking photos.
Titled: "Jus in the sunrise was dazzling"... (lol)
We enjoy ourselves like this, taking pictures of each other during the ride.
Perhaps because of that, my personal obsession lately has been bringing a film camera (compact) along on rides.
Whether on a road bike or a mountain bike, if you enjoy photography, you'll want to bring a camera along.
But it’s tough to keep it in your jersey pocket, as it gets wet from sweat. (Same goes for your phone.)
So, while I was looking for a bag, I tried using a waist bag that recently came back in stock, and it was so good that I'd like to introduce it to you.
HunterCycles “Hunter/Porcelain Rocket Fanny Packs” ¥10,500_
This waist pack was manufactured by Porcelain Rockets, known for their custom frame-packing bags, based on ideas from frame builder Rick Hunter.Its silhouette is slimmer than a regular waist pack, so it’s designed not to get in the way of pedaling.
On top of that, it’s packed with attractive features like lightweight, durable, highly water-resistant fabric, water-repellent zippers, and great color schemes.
The 3.3L capacity is just the right size to comfortably hold a phone, wallet, towel, and compact camera; it’s easy to use not just for rides, but also as a casual fashion accessory when worn cross-body in daily life.
Maybe it was because I was struggling so hard on the climb, but I honestly forgot I was even wearing the bag—it didn't interfere with my pedaling at all.
I want to try extreme commuting again soon.
And when I do, I’ll definitely be taking this bag!
