Jersey Bin Product Review

The JerseyBin is a super lightweight waterproof pouch designed to store personal items for all cycling enthusiasts. They are constructed of high quality, long lasting, durable 8 gauge vinyl recyclable material with a strong zip-lock zipper, rounded corners and designed specifically for cycling pockets. Superb waterproof pouch for keeping cell phones and money dry from rain and sweat!

The JerseyBins come in two sizes and are fully customizable.

I have been using my JerseyBin that Rob Kortus the owner and founder hooked me up with. I have to say I love it!

No more pulling in to Circle K in the middle of nowhere to pay for a drink and Power Bar with soaking wet sweating money. Plus it keeps my cell phone nice and dry.

Last month I was caught in a rain storm and had my phone in my pocket and the rain ruined my phone. The JerseyBin is well worth money which will save you tons of money in the long run by protecting your cell phone and other items.

Prius installation of rear hitch and rear bike rack: prius-bike-rack-instructions

Have you been thinking about getting a Toyota Prius but have wondered how you will be able to carry my bike around?

There is an answer! Why not have the best of both worlds; great gas mileage and the ease of carrying two bikes around. A rear hitch-mounted bike rack is one of the best option for Toyota Prius owners or shoppers looking into buying a Prius.

Although the Toyota dealerships will install the trailer hitch for you, installation is easy and something you can do on your own. You can install the hitch in about 30 minutes or less.Things You Will Need That Are Necessary:

  • Trailer hitch Curt Model 11468
  • Socket wrench with a 14m and 17m socket
  • Hand socket wrench with a 10m socket
  • Flat head screw driver for releasing the plastic rivets holding the underbody fascia in place
  • Heavy scissors or tin snips to trim the plastic under-body fascia
  • Extra set of hands to help you lift the trailer hitch into place
