Women’s Corsa Shorts by Garneau
March 22, 2012
Some bike shorts just make us look a little better in certain spots, and these Corsa Shorts by Garneau do just that while somehow still providing what they call “aerodynamics” (think well-placed seams) and “moisture management” (think sweat control). In bike short designer parlance, they have “a laser-cut, seamless band providing a second skin feel, […]

March 9, 2012
No more white basket with little pink flowers attached to the handlebars. The modern women wants something sporty. Something with zippered pockets. Something she can detach and take with her like a purse. Something that is durable and water resistant to keep things dry inside. Something that, like a good travel sac, has an exterior […]

March 2, 2012
Did you know that today is Dr. Seuss’ birthday, or did you not? Is a bike something everyone should have, or is it not? And if a bike should everyone have, should they not, also have an umbrella for that bike? After all, might you have an umbrella for a hike? Why would we not […]

Sometimes a girl just wants to ride her bike to the store without gearing-up, and these Evera Band sandals by Merrell are made just for that.

Brunton Double-Back Blue Light

A simple but useful idea… a small light with a sort-of-twisty handle, like a bungy cord. This Double-Back light from Brunton can be attached to your backpack, your gear, your bike, your hat, your finger, your walking stick or whatever, and it both flashes and holds a solid beam for up to 80 hours.
