If there is a laptop bag better than this, I’d like to see it.

Rickshaw bags is a local San Francisco bag design and manufacturing company. I decided to highlight them because not only do they make quality custom bags, but they employ locally. A majority of the work on Rickshaw bags is done here in SF. Good stuff.

If you’re reading this and you don’t live in San Francisco or an urban area like it, the laptop/bike bag may not mean to you what it means to people like me. Here, your bag not only is a sign of your fashion sense… it’s also truly an important way to get your stuff between home and work. I don’t mean this to be funny, because the truth is that we have limited ways of getting around this crowded town. Walking, biking and busing are great, but when you’ve got a lot of stuff, including a MacBook to schlep around, your bag takes on a whole other level of importance. Beyond that, my Mac is one of my most valued possession and when I take it out I want it to be safe.

I do believe Rickshaw is filling a big niche, creating a quality, custom laptop & bike bag. I’m going to send Mark a note and get that tour he offered of the Rickshaw office. Who wants to come along?

    Hi Sukhjit,
    Thanks for the quick response. I was surprised you responded with a video. :o) Anyways, I tried the code it it either didn't work or expired. Oh well, thanks for trying. Take Care

  • Hey Johnyradio! How nice to see you here. Thanks for leaving a comment. I popped over to your site, and you're right! There is a bag that looks like yours!! Hey, If you decide to get one from Rickshaw, let me know. I have a discount code for folks that saw this story on my site.

    Also wanted to say, your blog is great. Thanks for taking such a serious topic and making it accessible. I appreciate that very much.

    So, you're moving to SF? For work or for the heck of it? It's a great town.. you'll never want to leave. =)

    Great Video and article. Could you send me over a discount code? I"m very interested in these bags. Thanks Patrick
  • @kaidoy021 Thanks for stopping by and let me know if that code doesn't work.
  • ChazFrench
    What sort of discount? And you know my email addy!
  • Just sent you a DM and a big hug. =)
  • ChazFrench
    I know which bag I want, but *ouch* on the price even with the discount. Does the discount have an expiration on it? I may have to wait a while (like my birthday in May) to treat myself.

  • I have a discount code for you on Rickshaw Bags
  • Sukhjit the baglady is responding to your comment!
  • Ivanovitch
    But does it come with an emergency parachute? You never know when you might need one of those. :)

    Actually, it looks like a great bag. Seems like most bags these days are either too big for a laptop, or too small for a laptop plus anything else. And I like the variety of styles. too.
  • Ivan! Let's go get bags from Rickshaw. BTW, they're offering a discount to my friends if you're interested. =)
  • Ivan, you can come on a tour of the factory with me when I go!

    I was just having a conversation this weekend with @doverbey about wanting a messenger bag for my laptop. I can never find a good bag that doesn't have stuff printer all over it.

    Thanks to you, I will check them out.
  • Alan! I have a discount code for you if you want a rickshaw bag! Let me know! You can get your cool logo on it! =)
  • chaeseco
    I just might take you up on that! Especially if I can get my custom logo on it.

  • Just got one more discount if you want it! Send me a msg if you want to order a custom rickshaw bag and I'll give you the code. =)
  • Originalmoxie
    I'd love to order a custom rickshaw bag! I'd love even more getting a discount on one!
    I've been looking into getting a Rickshaw Zero for some time, but your story seals the deal! I want my money going to a local responsible company.
  • Great vid! Great bagz!
  • thank you thank you thank you! Great to see you Renato. Thank you so much for leaving a comment!
  • James
    Wow! I want one of those bags! Ok, more than one. Perhaps one for each day of the week. And holidays too!
    I hope you do a tour of the factory. I think it's exciting to see more than just the end result of a product you're becoming a fan of. =)
  • gold star goes to you James
  • James!!! Is this the first comment you've ever left on my site! I think it is. Thank you so much. Yes to factory tour! I'm so interested in the manufacture and I think it is fantastic that Rickshaw is bringing jobs into SF. We use to have so many more manufacture jobs in this town.. glad to see they haven't all disappeared.

    Thanks a million for the comment... and for the RT. Next time... I'll be looking for a video comment!!! Baby steps, I know. =) --sukhjit
