There could be a new Detour for cyclists, but not the kind you might think. Actually Detour is a Seattle-based company that makes seat bags, panniers and cycling bags, and as expected from the Pacific Northwest these are all designed to stand up to wet weather.
A new product that we heard about was the Coffee Bag – fitting as again the company is from Seattle. But it isn’t for the morning cup of the brown stuff. Instead it is a waterproof bag that features a two-point attachment system so it can be mounted behind a seat or on the top tube. It offers 100cubic inches of storage but can also be tucked into a water bottle cage if necessary.
Our friends at BikeRadar.com noted that there will be “five blends” available, including the : California, The Highway 1 blend; Washington, The Evergreen blend; Minnesota, The 10,000 lake blend; Maine, The Lighthouse blend; and Colorado, The Mile High blend. The bags will be available for $24 as part of the 2012 line – and given the price of gourmet coffee this might be a steal!
