For more information, check out Journeyfromsilence.com.
In 2012 I cycled over 3,000 miles solo across India. The first part of my trip was in Rajasthan, in the north; the second was an epic journey from Mumbai down Konkan coast to border of Goa, then up to Deccan Plateau, south through the interior of entire Karnataka, across Tamil Nadu and Kerala to Fort Kochi (Cochin) on the coast. It was on this second leg of my India traverse that I used Ortlieb Bike Shop Hub panniers.
Although currently unavailable, Ortlieb Bike Shop Hub panniers will appear on Bike Bag Shop again soon. If you’re in need of great gear more immediately, regular Ortlieb panniers are a great choice for summer travels!

Tom and his Vespa are at it again. “Updated photos for the BOB folks to fret over …lol.”
And again, we don’t recommend, support or condone the use of BOB trailers, or any other bike cargo trailers, on any motorized vehicles other than electric bicycles that are regulated the same as standard bicycles.

Well, we did it. We packed up and loaded all of our inventory and equipment, and we moved Bike Shop Hub to Tucson, Arizona.
It took us most of a week to pack up our inventory. We spun cocoons of plastic wrap around our shelves until we were dizzy from walking around in circles.
On Saturday we loaded five big trucks and left Flagstaff on Sunday morning.
