Girl.Bike.Dog @ Bainbridge & Grays Ferry

Girl.Bike.Dog. creates messenger bags, backpacks, side-bags for dogs - all with super-kawaii, urban street designs featuring trippy mushrooms, clever cosmo cowgirl symbols & iconic girl graphics.  Lindsay Duggan tells DoN she’s working hard to meet the demand for Girl.Bike.Dog.  gear.  The shop offers T-shirts by various artists, cycling hats, knit hats, uber- cool dog collars & leashes and essential bike gear.

Girl.Bike.Dog @ Bainbridge & Grays Ferry

The bike and messenger community in Philly is tight-knit and owner Lindsay Duggan is knowledgeable of the needs of the biking enthusiasts, urban dog lover and fashion design lovers.  Duggan is well informed about the current discussions around bike laws in the news, bike lanes in the city and the rise of human powered transportation, the perils of being a bike messenger, dog walking services and urban dog owner needs. And, she makes really awesome hand-made bags.  The block where the shop where Girl.Bike.Dog is located includes Betty’s Speakeasy Cupcakes (best of Philly Mag), The Balkan Restaurant with the best Serbian recipes from Radovan’s family recipes and Grace Tavern, the best fries in town.  The view of Center City is spectacular, too - DoN was surprised to see the cherry trees in bloom for Indian Summer.
