This Christmas, my husband Kelly got a great gift. It is a very well designed pannier called the Commuter Pannier, and is specifically for bike commuters who want to bring their work clothes with them. We found out that a geophysicist, Craig Coulombe (Vermilion Energy), had designed it 10 years ago. Craig designed it after being frustrated by cycling to work with a backpack and wrinkled clothes. Quite impressive Craig! For all you cyclists out there, you can check it out at www.twowheelgear.com It is always nice to know that our community has such talented people.
This column is not just for new job announcements. If you have anything that you would like to share with the RECORDER, send it to me. I am open to new ideas!
