This is the Viper. Our hydration pack that’s perfect for mountain biking. But how do all its fun features work? Just ask Bike Rumor. They put together a “magical video tour” of the Viper 7, and we liked it so much we’re posting it here. The pack even gets used in the snow, proof of Bike Rumor’s commitment to putting gear to the true test.
Enjoy!
Every Wednesday on Ditch Your Car we’ll be bringing you just another reason to spend more time on two wheels. Be it a photo, a statistic or an inspirational video, we want to keep reminding you about why riding is great!
We’re big fans of Artcrank, the “poster party for bike people.” Combining creative juices with a love for two wheels makes for some fantastic productions. Here’s a little selection of our favorites.
Is Artcrank coming to a town near you? Check out the Artcrank website to learn about their upcoming shows.

We do love a good bike lane shot, and this one’s from Glasgow, where a cyclist is happily riding underneath the busy M8. It’s always fun to see how countries around the world are encouraging their inhabitants to bike more, and bike lanes are a big part of that.
What is your city doing? Do you have a great bike lane shot? We want to see it! Post it to our Facebook page or pop it up on Twitter with the hashtag #ospreybike. Happy riding!

Turns out no one is immune to bike theft. Gary Fischer reported that one of his bikes was stolen over the weekend.
My Blue town bike was stolen from my basement in SF last night, it was Americas most popular bike, a Trek FX.
Good thing it’s probably pretty easy for him to get a new one. And to the bike theft out there: you’re messing with the wrong guy.

Above is a shot of my high school team back in the day…
I just returned from the first annual NICA Awards ceremony; a selection of who’s-who in the cycling industry attended in addition to many coaches and athletes who were being recognized for their brilliant efforts. The cycling industry knows that the future of their sport lies in the youth, and thus they are investing accordingly.
And we’re back! After an excellent break, we’re back in action here on the bike blog and we’re hoping that you’re already planning plenty of cycling adventures for the upcoming year.
Have any good rides lined up for 2011? We want to hear about them! Tell us in the comments below or send us a photo of your favorite ride this winter to blog[at]ospreypacks[dot]com and we might feature it!

We’re happy that the Raptor was considered the “bee’s knees” by bike site 29 Inches. “Something I found incredibly useful, sturdy, comfortable, and impressive during my riding time in 2010.” Cheers to that!
