Meet the Person Pushing the Pedal

Hi I’m Jessie, the hands behind every PedalPaddle bag. My cycling journey started in the upstate of South Carolina on roads through beautiful farm country with my mom and dad. As I made my way west, I collected a few bikes, as one does. As I started to combine my two loves, cycling and backpacking, I quickly came to realize my bikes were unique and deserved the gear to match their vibe. With my grandma’s sewing machine and my mom’s help reading through the pattern, we made my first ever stem bag.

Over the past few years, that first bag has inspired me to keep crafting pieces that hold up to mud, miles, and smiles. I design and sew durable, ride‑ready gear inspired by dusty trails, sunny river days, and the joy of moving under your own power. My workshop is small, my standards are high, and my favorite part of this work is seeing local Boise riders and small businesses bring their ideas to life.
