Visit Rickshaw Bags

After lunch we'll visit Rickshaw Bags. Inspired by the creative energy of San Francisco, urban cycling, and an intense desire to make great products, Rickshaw operates with a strong set of humanistic, environmental, and social values that guide the way it conducts every aspect of its business. The company name derives from three Japanese characters meaning "human-powered vehicle" - delightfully apropos for a company making bags for bicycle enthusiasts, and a metaphor for the strength of the human spirit.
