In 1958, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was officially established when then-U.S. President Eisenhower signed the act to create it. Although it will be 60 years in just a few more years, space remains full of mysteries; for humanity, it is still a place overflowing with dreams, hope, and romance.
While dreaming of Iscandar—far beyond the galaxy—is certainly wonderful, there are still so many worlds left unseen right here on Earth. Wouldn't it be just as romantic to hop on a bicycle and, relying only on your own sense of adventure, carve out your own path with your own two feet? Yes, just like them.
Pursuing that kind of romance while dedicating his days to bicycle frame building is Rick Hunter of Hunter Cycles, and riding the bikes Rick builds, equipped with the bike packs he crafts himself to tear across the wilderness, is Scott Felter of Porcelain Rocket. The Fanny Pack was created from their wish that you never lose sight of that romance, even in your daily life. While it can’t hold a whole lot, it is perfectly sized to securely pack away the things that truly matter.

Fanny Pack with Hunter Cycles NASA-style Patches
¥10,000 (tax excl.)
The shape fits securely to your waist, making it comfortable to use in any situation, from city streets to trail rides. Furthermore, it is made using only materials highly regarded in the outdoor world, such as X-Pac, which is both lightweight and rugged, just like the bike packs from Porcelain Rocket. It is built to be incredibly tough.
It can store essentials like your wallet, phone, gloves, and a windbreaker in perfect balance. By the way, don't forget that the Block Breaker Jacket from California-based Ring Tail, which we've introduced on the blog before, is packable, so it can be stored quite compactly.
Additionally, it is equipped with dividers for organizing small items like your phone, and a strap to secure important things like your keys. It is packed with features that are sure to please.
As a final touch, a Porcelain Rocket tag is sewn into the interior. Please note that this tag may vary depending on the product, but consider that part of the fun of opening it up.
This is a look at the Hunter Cycles booth at NAHBS, where SimWorks recently set up a booth and our Circles American correspondent team infiltrated. A large number of fanny packs are on display, but rest assured: Circles has a lineup just as rich and diverse in stock.
Please check our web shop for the full lineup.
The NAHBS venue must have been overflowing with the dreams and romance of so many people, the fanny packs included. Our Circles American correspondent team, thoroughly inspired by all that romance, will be back at the shop starting Friday. I’m looking forward to hearing their stories from the trip. Please feel free to bombard them with questions when you see them in the store.
