The BagPed. It’s hard to conceive of a more pointless product
This is the BagPed, from Workiture, and the most surprising thing about it is that it actually exists. What is it? A stand for your bag.
That’s right. You get into work, you stow your fixed-gear bike at the in-office bike rack and you head to your desk. Once there, you no longer have to put your bag on the perfectly clean and smooth floor, or even a spare corner of your desk. No, with the BagPed, your messenger satchel finally has a place to call home.
Yes, it is as ridiculous as it seems. The BagPed is made from one-eighth-inch cold-rolled steel, and is powder-coated in one of four dull colors. There is also a small (optional) wool or polyester shelf slung beneath the main platform for whatever other junk you brought to work.
It’s hard to see why on Earth you would buy this. After all, if you really can’t stand to keep your bag on the floor, then why not just grab a spare chair and save the $200 this thing costs? Yes, $200 (or $170 without the shelf). I can think of many, many things I’d spend $200 on, and this would never be one of them.
And with all of this is nonsense I completely forgot to mention that the cut-and-rolled metal sheet design looks curiously familiar …
