    I love the bag. I'd like to be at your house with you in your garden drinking ice tea. Or maybe just bring my bike there and go on a ride with you.
    I'm so sad with all the rain we have been getting we can't get out and do anything.
    Can I come play with you in your garden?

    Texas has really been getting it bad, it was a year ago this week that my house was flooded but at least it wasn't completely destroyed. I'm getting out of here and going condo.

    Interesting.
    That's not a bike-specific bag?
    How/Where did he get the rear brace for it and what did he use to develop the wrap around under the lock-nut for his stem?

    But I agree with Zen...I think your hub got the better end of the deal.

    Watch out Lisa! The last time I tried to shovel two truckloads of mulch I pulled muscles in my back & couldn't ride my bike for two weeks. I'd rather be riding, pay someone else to mulch, and then come home and sit in the newly mulched garden, drinking iced tea! Of course, that would be in the world in which I had all the money I needed to hire someone to do those things....

    Yeah well I thought about that. But then in order to pay a mulch spreading person, I'd have to work a bunch of extra hours and thus cut back on my biking anyway!
    Oh, the irony....
    My back is strong and I'll probably spread the job over two different days. I'll be careful, I promise!

    No it's not a bike bag. See above explanation. My DH designed the complete metal brace attachment system for it and had a friend of ours who is a machinist make it. The leather parts of the bag were all as is. My DH can do anything!!! (brag brag....)

    My garden has been neglected due to my biking for almost a year now, and I'm happy to spend a few days getting it looking nice again. Hey I rode 32 miles this morning- don't worry I'm biking plenty.

    OK Donna. You make and serve us the iced tea all day and "supervise", and I'll shovel the mulch. Then we'll go for a nice easy ride and stop for ice cream at Ralph's Cafe in town on the way back.
