Product Sneak Peek: medium tool roll.

I've always been terrible at keeping secrets when there is a terrific surprise involved (or when one elementary friend had a crush on another, thank goodness those days are behind us)!

That's why I am just bursting to give you a sneak peek at a brand new Bike Cozy product that will be debuting soon. A larger tool roll! I have always planned on having three sizes, yet have been busy with the small tool roll, toe cozys and laying a good foundation for Bike Cozy, so the medium roll is just now getting its due attention.

After requests for a roll that would hold a spare tube and CO2 cartridges, I decided it was finally time to finish designing a medium roll. Here is a quick sneak peek.

Feature not shown is the webbing strap that you can use with toe straps to attach to  a saddle with loops.

With the sturdy velcro straps you can fit a lot, or just a bit in the roll and it will close up snug either way.

All sorts of pockets, for your wrenches and tubes and crank pullers and chain breakers. . .



Mike said he likes bright colors. The fact that I'm a child of the 80's and 90's really shows through here. The colorway reminds me of nintendo games.

bonus pocket! I see it holding a rag, or your multi-tool for easy access.

A great thing about this roll is its versatility. If you want the tube in a pocket, it can fit in a pocket. If you have a load of tools, they can go in the pocket instead and the tube can roll up in the middle. It will be great for those of us that like having a little ritual of packing things up when we're done with them.

The roll pictured is on its way to my product tester Mike and another medium roll, in earth tones, to Jim in Dallas. The rolls won't go into production until I've heard constructive criticisms from my testers (and glowing praises, I'm sure.)

If you ride regularly, are comfortable giving constructive feedback, and would like to put a medium tool roll through its paces, email me at Rachel.db [at!] BikeCozy [dot] com because I am still looking for two more product testers for the medium roll.
