It must of been really something to be "the only kid on the block", so to speak, with a fixie and a messenger bag!Justine Valinottihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10852069587181432102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8908461644259659419.post-82505335258273072042016-01-27T08:42:23.002-08:002016-01-27T08:42:23.002-08:00Well, Justine, you inspired me.

I got it from a college friend who came from Brooklyn and spent some time in the early '80s as a bike messenger. When he went home for a visit one winter break I asked him to get me a bag like the one he had. And you're right, they weren't fashion accessories back then. I've used mine for all kinds of things over the years (still do) and I don't think I'll ever get rid of it. It amazes me how well it's held up after 30 some years.Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12110998345857993287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8908461644259659419.post-82437893733960853252010-10-20T22:59:53.871-07:002010-10-20T22:59:53.871-07:00**blush****blush**Justine Valinottihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10852069587181432102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8908461644259659419.post-57745080482370212632010-10-20T16:24:26.643-07:002010-10-20T16:24:26.643-07:00What a fantastic essay Justine, this belongs in a ...What a fantastic essay Justine, this belongs in a cycling magazine!Velouriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00359329171411037482noreply@blogger.com
