Swift Industries is a two-person operation out of Seattle, specializing in panniers and other sewn bags for bicycles and riders. Jason and Martina are seasoned commuters and cycle tourists and their products reflect their passions. Check out their website, and learn even more about them and their outlook on the cycling community in their blog.
With the city of New York encouraging use of bikes with the new bike parking requirements, I thought it an opportune time to move ahead with my project of high-density bike parking. The solution I have in mind is compact, flexible and cheap.
I would like to get some feedback from those bike aficionados who care about their bikes. Please see the following link to a survey that has been setup for this purpose. If you could put this up and/ or spread this questionnaire, it would help in understanding the problem from various aspects. More responses would help and I’d like to hit the 100 mark soon.

The Swift Pelican Porteur bag is legit, and is built around the Cetma 5 rail front rack, which you reviewed earlier. Jason and Martina are super people, and Karl at Partybots did the limited run of the “Ordinary Bike” on the flap.
I actually bought a set of their rolltops a week ago!
I can’t wait to get them in the mail… Martina was so nice going over with me every little question I had..
there’s a cool piece about swift on the http://www.pathlesspedaled.com/ site as well.
So nice to see little operations spotlighted!
