TCB Factoids

 

• 2 sizes

   

  small (13" wide x 17" deep) and large (15" wide x 18" deep). Both can accommodate most laptops. Compare them here

• 3 modes: 

• Orange backpack mode makes you visible from a great distance when on the bike, walking or running (runners can cross straps over chest for  a no-bounce fit)
• Black backpack (stealth) mode gives you a stylish stash off the bike
• Musette mode is a compact little shoulder bag to match your little black dress

• 2 water-bottle sized pockets

  for stowing keys, cellphone, glasses, portable keyboard or water bottles. Even that annoying wet mini-umbrella until you get home
