Daily Errands
It’s midsummer in Nagoya. I can’t sleep at night. I’m sure the hydrangeas are just as surprised as I am.
The local Tsuruma Park is so beautiful this time of year with its hydrangeas and irises that I always stop to Instagram them.
(Please follow me there, too!)
Since yesterday was my day off, I came into work today after stocking up on various necessary supplies.
At times like these, the rack and panniers I have mounted on my Hunter really come in handy.
The rack is the SimWorks On the Road.
It was the first rack I ever designed myself, and the process was filled with tears—from balancing utility and design to all the back-and-forth during manufacturing with NITTO.
I truly hope all of you will love it as much as I do.
Additionally, the JANDD Hurricane panniers are a masterpiece I always want to keep in stock at Circles, thanks to their simple, easy-to-mount design and unique color patterns (the Hurricane series features waterproof tarpaulin sewn inside).
(Sorry it's not on the Web Shop. Please do check them out at the store...)
If you prefer something a bit more understated for your commute, take a look at the Philosophy Intrans here.
I use it myself, and the tightly woven twill fabric is not only incredibly durable but also looks very elegant, making it perfect for any situation.
And since the commuter lines from current complete-bike manufacturers are built with a sharp eye on the market, I think they pair quite well with Philosophy gear.
