Porterlight Bringley Custom Cargo Bike
When it comes to the architecture of a standard bicycle, cargo space is very much an afterthought. The Porterlight Bringley Custom Cargo Bike doesn’t just haphazardly throw a rack over the rear wheel or fasten a basket to the handlebars, it has the storage capabilities built right into it. A flat cargo deck can be easily swapped out for an aluminum crate or even a two-child bike seat, depending on your toting needs. $2,842

Tailfeather Rooster Dopp Kit
As a multi-purpose carrying case, the Tailfeather Rooster Dopp Kit looks dapper in any environment. The top-grain leather and unique opening system lends itself nicely anywhere from a workbench to a bathroom counter or nightstand. $193

Fidelis GTG
Inspired by military utility and designed for everyday use, the Fidelis GTG (military speak for “good to go”) is built to handle any weekend jaunt. And with a ripstop interior, a waxed-canvas and ballistic-nylon construction, it can easily handle the battleground that is your daily commute. $225

Threepence Handmade Motorcycle Helmet Racks
Your helmet is the most important thing you wear when cruising around on your motorcycle; it’s about time you showed it the appreciation it deserves. The Threepence Handmade Helmet Racks get your helmet off that bland shelf and onto a 530 chain-and-oak mount. And when your helmet isn’t on it, it makes for great moto-esque wall art. $70+

Modern Romance
There’s no doubt the way we socially and romantically interact as a species has changed over the years. But Aziz Ansari refuses to think it’s all down to a “swipe-right or swipe-left” culture. In Modern Romance, Ansari, an NYU sociologist, and other social scientists compile a global study of the modern idea of romance. Expect it to be much funnier than any social science 101 reading you’ve seen before. $18

So when you want to upgrade from your Chevy Volt to a Tesla, you wont have to worry about changing chargers. $499
