Linus Sac

I’ve been eyeing linus’ the sac for some time now but the last 2 times I’ve visited their show room on abbot kinney they’ve been sold out. My sister picked one up for me at her new fav bike shop, A Street Bike Named Desire in Palo Alto. I went with the sand and red bag. It’s stylish but also stands out.

The bag attaches easily to your rear rack with 2 rubberized covered hooks. There’s also a loop to secure your bag with a small lock (included with the bag).

Strong magnet closure on top. The bag feels sturdy, made of canvas and waxed for water resistance.

Interior pocket, perfect for a cellphone, keys, or small wallet.

Like rusty colored water, but delicious. Tasted creamy with a hint of caramel.

Looks like blood, but tastes smooth and slightly sweet.

Love Padlocks

While in Sevilla I noticed padlocks on the Isabel II bridge over the Guadalquivir river. The padlocks had names, initials, or maybe a message written in sharpie. Standing on the bridge, looking at the water; I felt pleasantly happy. I was imagining all these people in love visiting the bridge and standing in the same spot I was. Thinking it was cute and with only an idea of what this was all about; I snapped some pictures to remind myself to look it up when I got home.

The view from bridge is pretty romantic and especially beautiful at night so I can see how this would be THE place for couples. After some searching, the story behind them is that couples attach the engraved padlocks onto the bridge and toss the key into the river. Sweet right? The city of Sevilla cuts off the padlocks every 15 days because of the added weight of the locks on the bridge, but that doesn’t seem to deter people.

A lone lock spotted in Ronda…

A family? Since it would odd to profess enduring padlock love and commitment if you’re in a love triangle…Or maybe it’s a polygamous relationship. No judgement.
