So right before I had my thyroidectomy, I bought myself a SUPER AWESOME MEGA COOL cycling kit as impetus to get back on the bike. It’s the Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition kit. Yes, yes. I’m a girl. So yes, having a cute new outfit is definitely a good motivator. 🙂 I only did about…
Yeah, me neither. I never even thought about it. In fact, I hate loud motorcycle noises. But in case you are on the OTHER side of the fence, I bring you TURBOKSPOKE! OMG IT COMES WITH 15 CUSTOM STICKERS! Get this for you and all your cycling buddies and sound like a motorcycle gang on…
This shirt goes straight to the bad and ugly, but yet there is a certain tongue in cheek (hardee har har) element to it that is non typical of the snobby cycling scene. I bring you Cycle Buttcrack jerseys. The name is exactly what the product is. It’s a shirt that makes it look like…
While perusing the racks at REI for a pair of biking knickers, I rifled through the sale rack of women’s shirts. The below picture is the type of shirts on that rack. Look at this crap! It’s effin’ unholy. Talk about a continuation of the pink theme from my earlier post but this has gone…
For a sport still dominantly inhabited by men, there is a helluva lot of pink in cycling. I think it’s partly due to the TMobile telecom team and their fabulous fuschia kits. While perusing cycling related stuff the other day, I stumbled across the following three items. Although I’m not a huge fan of Specialized,…
So last week people celebrated the day I was cut out of my mother’s body. It really should be a celebration for my mom, who not only had to gestate and birth me, but then put up with me for 18 years. One of my fabulous readers-turned-friend gave me some birthday gifts! I just recently…
So for all my griping about bike theft and posting videos about how to lock your bike, I realized today I am a major hypocrite. This is the ONLY bike lock I own. That’s it. And it’s already been chewed/rubbed in half. This is the worst kind of bike lock – one quick snip and…
According to Guinness World Records, the most expensive bike sold at auction was a “Butterfly bike” that Armstrong rode in the final stage of the 2009 Tour de France. How much did this bike go for? A cool half a million dollars ($500,000 USD). Get this – the butterflies on the bike are REAL (dead)…
What’s a quick way to gussie up your bike AND add an extra element of safety to your ride? A Bike Wrapper. Yup, it’s literally what it sounds like. A wrapper for your bike. Reflective strip on one side, various patterns and colors on the other. I was lucky enough to receive a sample from…
That’s right. The quick release. You know you need a customized quick release. What bike is complete without it!? UberHund Designs let’s you put your logo on your quick release. I’d kind of prefer a different color option as well. It seems like their options are white text on black quick release. What about neon…
