In Brad's words:
Many of you will have seen this bag at its debut at Minnecycle. Over the course of the subsequent week I've been using it daily, but was never really satisfied with the mounts. So I made a decaleur. Normally these aren't very impressive pieces of hardware. And it's not that I sought to make anything any better than anyone else, but I may have gotten a little carried away with this one, as is my wont sometimes. Most importantly: it works and it provides a solid connection for the bag, which doesn't flop around anymore. If I never make something like this again, I'm totally fine with that. This was something that lodged itself under my bonnet and literally had to be made.

that's the ladies prize (two bags) on the left and the men's (bag, cog, flask) on the right

some other random ACC business:
The Profiles for the winner of the trick comp got here today, and are already in Mike Carney's hands
Uhoh toys shirts were dropped of yesterday. they look like this
and lastly:
I have been screenprinting a bunch of shirts and hats in preparation for this weekend and will have some stuff with me tonight at sprints. I will also have a table setup at registration on Saturday. I know that no one wants to buy stuff before the race, but unlike last year, I won't have a merch table at the afterparty, so if there's something you want, please get it before the race. Holly from Grovecraft will also be selling hats at registration.
and to all of you out there who continue to support Bike Jerks by buying our stuff. Thank you so much
