    It's an interesting safety tactic but i'm not sure it works for everyone

    Rule #9 // If you are out riding in bad weather, it means you are a badass. Period.
    Rule #12 // The correct number of bikes to own is n+1.
    Rule #42 // A bike race shall never be preceded with a swim and/or followed by a run.

    I've made the error a few times of not realising that the difference in viewing angle between standing up and looking in a mirror versus cycling along means that I'm a tad more exposed that I think!

    You've also made that error in the pub :)

    Thank you for that, soul boy. I see from your post count that you have yet to realise just how off topic these threads go. I usually give them a page or two :roll:

    Entire racks full of pink shorts and tops I suspect. And pink bells, and pink ribbons for your handlebars.

    My eyes are melting with the idea of a shop full of nothing but pink! Well the wrong kind of pink anyway.

    Bev, my wife, gets a lot of her cycle clothes from primal

    http://www.primalwear.com/c-99-womens-jerseys.aspx

    usually the sale stuff, delivery is usually 3 days and low cost.

    We've not looked recently so the £ to $ value may be a problem now.

    We've had some aldi stuff a few times and usually the womens fit and quality is much better than the mens.

    Bev likes the howies merino base layers too, but not much else in the womens line, too fashion orientated.
