The KONBINI BAG<\/a><\/strong>, a compact and practical, handlebar bag we developed with Cody of Jack Supply Co<\/a><\/strong> and initially offered in collaboration with our friends at CHRIS KING<\/a><\/strong>, has distinguished itself as one of our most popular bags. Today, we\u2019re excited to introduce a limited-edition version created in collaboration with our longtime friends at Allez LA<\/strong><\/a>, one of LA\u2019s most iconic bike shops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Allez LA<\/strong><\/a>, located in Highland Park, Los Angeles, is not only one of SimWorks\u2019 most passionate and trusted partners, but also one of our VIP dealers. The shop was founded in 2023 by Kyle Kelley<\/a><\/strong>, former owner of Golden Saddle Cyclery<\/a><\/strong>, and Shawn Wolf<\/a><\/strong>, owner of King Kog Brooklyn<\/a><\/strong>, another long-standing and distinguished SimWorks dealer. Together, they brought a wealth of experience and a shared vision to create a bike shop rooted in community, culture, and quality. They’re deeply embedded in the local cycling scene, always finding ways to share the joy of riding and connect people through bikes, events, and thoughtful storytelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While we\u2019ve shared many great memories and projects with Kyle over the years, our story with Shawn began with a dose of serendipity. Before SimWorks had officially entered the U.S. market, Shinya<\/a> <\/strong>(our founder), Ryota, and I (Rie<\/strong><\/a>) took an East Coast trip to explore the cycling scene. Completely unaware of King Kog Brooklyn, we happened to pass by a small bike shop in Brooklyn and decided to stop in. That shop was King Kog, and it was where we first met Shawn. It was a chance encounter that planted the seeds of a long and meaningful relationship that has now lasted over a decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every time I return to LA, Kyle and Shawn, and even the people in LA cycling community warmly welcome me and SimWorks, and I always see familiar faces around the shop, and I always get to meet new people as well. That warm, steady ‘Good Vibes’ energy makes us feel right at home and keeps us wanting to come back. Those positive vibes are what motivated us to want to create a collaborative product together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So when we talked to Kyle and Shawn about an idea to collaborate on a bag, we instantly knew what to do. Our Konbini Bag, compact, versatile, and proven design would be the perfect canvas. The bag took shape with some special edition fabric colors, a custom patch and some Allez LA designed headset caps- direct nod to the Los Angeles city flag colors. All details that reflect both the identity of Allez LA and the shared history between us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
