R.E.Load: Philly's Iconic Bike Messenger Bag

R.E.Load Baggage began in the late 90s to meet the needs of Philly’s active bike messenger scene. While the bike messenger scene has nearly disappeared, R.E.Load’s flashy colors, custom applique and innovative design has made them a brand beloved by bike enthusiasts from all over the country. As a former bike messenger and R.E.Load enthusiast explains, “You can spot a R.E.Load bag from a mile away.”
