The Squeezy Bean, an Ingenious Invention

The Squeezy Bean is our newest little guy at Scenic Routes.1 It’s very simple.

With the Squeezy Bean, you never have to worry about your bike sliding around on BART, falling over with a trailer, or rolling down that hill. Just pull it tight on your brake lever (I usually use the front brake), and you’re good!

We’ve got em, they’re less than a snack and coffee from Cindarella, pop by, grab one, change your life.

They’re made by our awesome friend Sarah Katz-Hymen, and we’ve got a bunch of different colors!

Also in shop news, 20% of all tire sales this month go to AROC. Free Palestine!
