I ’d love to run a bicycle-themed pub. If I opened a pub, I’d call it something like The Iron Horse, The Frame and Forks, The Hub, or The Handle Bar. Ideally I would prefer a bicycle version of the ubiquitous Horse & Jockey but ‘The Bike & Rider’ sounds boring and unimaginative. The Carb and Fibre is genius - but it sounds crap. Anyway - my pub would have a beer garden with a roofed, secure bike park in one corner. The bar would be made of old velodrome boards. It would have bicycle artwork on the walls, some lovely vintage bicycles hanging up on the walls. This would include a replica of Eddy Merckx’s hour record bike. We’d have plenty of real ales and quality lagers, ciders, wines and spirits on sale. We’d have our own custom beers: Handle Bar Ale, Pedal Pusher Pale Ale, Tyred and Cranky, Smut Pedaller Porter, Saddle Sore Stout, Bunny Hop bitter, Pot Belge, Lycra Lout Lager, Yellow Jersey etc. as well as Cycle Rider Cider.

Built to exacting standards, this full-sized messenger is purposefully unstructured with just enough organization to be lived out of. Padded back-panel makes for laptop safe haven, while two front pockets keep your small items at hand. Fine fittings of black chrome (white edition) or copper allow for sturdy adjustment and closure.
