"These bags are the ultimate companions for living, working, and cycling in the city, and this partnership is one more way that we can outfit the cycling community with the gear they need to take on urban life."
Timbuk2 x New Balance C-Series Sling, $158, can be worn left or right-handed and is slightly stretchy. Its materials and colors match New Balance's C-Series model, with highly reflective material.It includes safe and easy phone access and laptop protection. The inside of the pack has an internal organizer, and a reversible shoulder strap ensures that both lefties and righties can use it with ease.
Timbuk2 x New Balance C-Series Backpack, $198, features sophisticated styling with stretch. It includes soft secure spots for laptop and phone; it also has external helmet and U-lock storage.
