Grande is a larger version of Silca\u2019s original Mattone seat pack.<\/span><\/figcaption><span class=\"&quot;im-image-caption&quot;\"> <i>Stan Portus \/ Our Media <\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<p>Silca released the <a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.bikeradar.com\/features\/first-look-friday\/silca-tattico-mini-pump\/&quot;\">Mattone seat pack<\/a> in July 2020 and has now produced a larger version, the Mattone Grande.<\/p>\n<p>This new saddle bag shares much in common with the smaller Mattone, retaining the cuboid shape (<em>mattone<\/em> means brick in Italian), along with the Boa ratchet closing system and Silca\u2019s signature red and black colour scheme. It\u2019s also made of the same waterproof material and closes with a YKK Aquaguard zip to keep any rain or road spray out.<\/p>\n<div class=\"&quot;image-handler__container\" image-handler__container--aspect=\"\" style=\"&quot;padding-bottom:\" calc=\"\"> <picture><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/21\/2022\/02\/silca_grande_sinde-8994127.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=299%2C199,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/21\/2022\/02\/silca_grande_sinde-8994127.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=299%2C199,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/21\/2022\/02\/silca_grande_sinde-8994127.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=354%2C236,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/21\/2022\/02\/silca_grande_sinde-8994127.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=354%2C236,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/21\/2022\/02\/silca_grande_sinde-8994127.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=404%2C269,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/21\/2022\/02\/silca_grande_sinde-8994127.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=404%2C269,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/21\/2022\/02\/silca_grande_sinde-8994127.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=554%2C369,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/21\/2022\/02\/silca_grande_sinde-8994127.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=554%2C369,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/21\/2022\/02\/silca_grande_sinde-8994127.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=620%2C413,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/21\/2022\/02\/silca_grande_sinde-8994127.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=620%2C413,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/21\/2022\/02\/silca_grande_sinde-8994127.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=407%2C271,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/21\/2022\/02\/silca_grande_sinde-8994127.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=407%2C271,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/21\/2022\/02\/silca_grande_sinde-8994127.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=555%2C370,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/21\/2022\/02\/silca_grande_sinde-8994127.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=555%2C370,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><img class=\"&quot;wp-image-663582\" align=\"\" size-landscape_thumbnail=\"\" image-handler__image=\"\" image-handler__image--aspect=\"\" no-wrap=\"\" js-lazyload=\"\" data-src=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/21\/2022\/02\/silca_grande_sinde-8994127.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=620%2C413&quot;\" width=\"&quot;620&quot;\" height=\"&quot;413&quot;\" alt=\"&quot;Silca\" mattone=\"\" seat=\"\" pack=\"\" red=\"\" interior=\"\" title=\"&quot;silca_grande_sinde&quot;\"\/><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div><div class=\"&quot;caption-hold&quot;\"><figcaption class=\"&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;\"><span class=\"&quot;caption-copy&quot;\"><i class=\"&quot;icon-arrow\" icon-camera-circle=\"\"\/> The inside is lined with red fabric.<\/span><\/figcaption><span class=\"&quot;im-image-caption&quot;\"> <i>Stan Portus \/ Our Media<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<p>The two packs differ on the inside, however.

brings two parts of his life together, cycling and philosophy.<\/p>\n<p>Hibbard raced in America from the mid-1990s through the early 2000s, winning medals at the United States National Track Cycling Championships and earning a place in the country\u2019s national track team.<\/p>\n<p>Hibbard came to think the sport, plagued by doping, was rotten. So when he stopped racing, he embarked on a 10-year hiatus from cycling and instead turned to philosophy, which he studied at the University of California.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Art of Cycling<\/em> sees him return to cycling and apply his skills and knowledge as a philosopher to the sport and his own life, wrangling with questions around pain, depression, perfection and purpose.<\/p>\n<p>It is at once a \u201cmeditative love letter\u201d to cycling and a set of ruminations. Hibbard shows how cycling can inform \u2013 and occasionally provide sanctuary from \u2013 existential questions around selfhood and meaning, as well as how philosophy can go some way to describing the liberatory feeling of riding a bike.<\/p>\n<ul><li>\u00a314.99 \/ AU$39.99<\/li>\n<\/ul><div class=\"&quot;monetizer__price-comparison-container&quot;\" data-position=\"&quot;adhoc&quot;\" hidden=\"\"> <h5 class=\"&quot;monetizer__price-comparison-title\" monetizer-title=\"\" style=\"&quot;background-color:\" color:=\"\">Latest deals<\/h5> <div id=\"&quot;monetizer__deals&quot;\" data-type=\"&quot;price-comparison&quot;\" data-config=\"'{&quot;shopId&quot;:&quot;608&quot;,&quot;market&quot;:&quot;gbp_en&quot;,&quot;template&quot;:&quot;flxmmtwnoj&quot;,&quot;searchKeywords&quot;:&quot;The\" art=\"\" of=\"\" cycling=\"\" james=\"\" hibbard=\"\"\/> <div class=\"&quot;monetizer__price-comparison-explanatory-text\" body-copy-extra-small=\"\" editor-content=\"\"\/><\/div><\/body><\/html>\n<hr class=\"no-tts wp-block-separator\"\/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Stan Portus Published: Friday, 11 February 2022 at 12:00 am Welcome to this week\u2019s edition of First Look Friday, with an intriguing mix of smart tech, on-bike storage, music-inspired kit and cycling-inspired philosophy.
