Pairing the best aspects of conventional messenger bags with a refined industrial design aesthetic and device-driven functional features, our Courier Collection continues to provide durability, waterproofing and ease-of-use to meet the needs of urban bicyclists. This season, we’ve refreshed the collection with the addition of new styles all available in a striking Dove Gray and bold Orange colorway.

New this Spring to the Courier Collection is the Messenger Backpack, which joins the collection’s Messenger Bag and Skate Messenger Bag. Constructed of custom weather resistant 1680D nylon, the Messenger Backpack features a wide-mouth top closure for easy access, a side access faux-fur lined notebook compartment and multiple pockets for optimum organization. Adjustable sternum, waist and padded shoulder straps provide increased comfort and ergonomic support while reflective hits provide added visibility for safe riding in the dark.

Rounding out the Courier Collection are pieces to fully protect all your essentials. Our new iPhone Pouch provides unsurpassed protection for your device. Our new Vertical Messenger Hip Pack lets you travel light, sized to hold just your essentials so you can enjoy your ride.

Available in Dove Gray with an Orange pop as well as traditional Black on Black, the Courier Collection is available now in our webstore and at better boutiques worldwide.

Only this time it’s a bit different since the race will consist of three stages:

1. Drag Race
2. Alleycat
3. Goldsprints

Who will win the individual stages and who will be the overall winner?

Meet up at the Cyclocross parking lot at 9:30pm.

Attention all bike lovers/lurkers: This week, the internationally renown Bicycle Film Festival is hosting a huge variety of bicycle culture & community events all over the greater Los Angeles area.

On Wednesday, August 26th, we’re particularly excited about the Bikes Rock party at the Eagle Rock Center for the Arts with Atlanta’s finest shoegazing garage band Deerhunter and LA’s own Blank Blue. As a primary sponsor of this touring festival, there’s a pretty good chance we’ll be on hand doling out a few Incase products, getting deeply weird and zoning out with everyone else. Bring your bike, your earplugs and your enthusiasm.

And while you’re in the Eagle Rock hood, ride on over to Auntie Em’s Kitchen or Senor Fish (both on Eagle Rock Blvd). If you need a coffee, go to Swork (corner of Eagle Rock Blvd x Colorado Blvd). To get this week’s rager started right, you’re gonna want a full gut and some pep in your pedals.

Keep an eye on our BFF Flickr set. We recently added some photos from BFF Chicago.

One of New York’s toughest bike races is being held in The Bronx this Saturday. Incase will be there to award some prizes to the winners. For those who are going to enter, good luck!

Last week the BFF went to Austin. We added some photos to our Bicycle Film Festival Flickr set.

Tomorrow the BBF is starting in Chicago.

We added some photos from San Francisco to the Bicycle Film Festival set on Flickr.

BFF is visiting Portland this weekend. Make sure to see some of the movies that are being shown. Specially the portrait of the legendary Italian Frame Builder Giovanni Pelizzoli aka “Ciocc”. Amazing film.

UPDATE: Amelia sent us some photos from the BFF in Oakland. Scraper Bikes!

The Bicycle Film Festival is starting today SF. There is way too much to do and see, so make sure to check the schedule and plan accordingly.

As every bike fanatic knows, the MASH guys rode the Tour of California this year on their track bikes. Mike Martin documented the ride and MASH is in the process of releasing a video for this. The preview is now available on Vimeo.

MASH blogged their journey on our site. Here’s the story in 6 parts:

1. Mash Rides
2. The Oldest and the Youngest
3. Gear Selection
4. A Day in the Life
5. Spectators
6. Final Thoughts

We’re sponsoring the Pittsburgh BFF next weekend July 2-4. So go see one of the films, and you might win one of our Messenger Bags.

Incase is excited to be a sponsor of this year’s Bicycle Film Festival.

The Bicycle Film Festival (BFF) is a celebration of bicycles through film, art and music. The events kick off this week in New York with a plethora of happenings. Check out John Prolly’s blog for more information.

During select stops of the festival, we’ll be giving away prizes from our Courier Collection to the winners of alleycat races and other activities, so be sure to get involved when the BFF comes to your city.

We’ll be posting updates as the festival treks across the world, so check back with us for continuing coverage.
