Six years ago, Miles and Emily moved to British Columbia’s Sunshine Coast, trading van life for a more rooted existence. That brought the need for a dedicated bike rack for quick shuttles around town. The Rockymounts BackStage Swing Away Bike Rack stood out for its full 180-degree swing function, which permitted access to the back of the van, a high load limit, and a minimal profile.

In this summer’s Editor’s Dozen, Logan and Virginia include some of those long-term picks in a roundup of a dozen products and experiences—and one meaningful reminder—that have become trusted companions through months (and sometimes years) of riding and living. Find them all here…
Revelate Designs helped define the modern handlebar harness nearly two decades ago, so when the Alaskan brand finally released its first rigid cradle, expectations were high. After several overnighters and some rough trail miles, the new Hammerhead Harness proved that there’s still room to improve in this category. Find our full review here…
The Velo Orange There and Back Rack features ample mounting points and a modular design compatible with a variety of bikes and packing styles.
