__Alchemy Goods Dravus Messenger Bag__ The [Dravus](http://alchemygoods.com/dravus.html) ($178) is like many other messenger bags except for one thing: Part of it is made from recycled bike inner tubes.

__Giro Sutton MIPS helmet__Some companies reserve MIPS technology, a low friction layer that sits between the shell and liner of a helmet, for their high-end lids. But thankfully, Giro has included it an affordable commuter helmet called the [Sutton MIPS](http://www.giro.com/us_en/products/men/helmets/urban/sutton-mips-23802.html) ($100).

__Kitsbow’s The Icon flannel shirt__ Kitsbow’s wool [Icon Shirt](http://shop.kitsbow.com/shop/the-icon-shirt.html) ($195) is a throwback with some nice modern touches.

__Stromer ST2 e-bike__ The [Stromer ST2](http://www.stromerbike.com/en/us/e-bikes/stromer-st2) ($7,000) is definitely spendy. But don’t dismiss it just because of the sticker price. It has an enormous 90-mile range plus a 500-watt motor that offers assistance up to 28 mph.
