Bike clothing while uniquely suited for cycling looks great in direct inverse proportion to proximity to your bike. In other words lets say I get all kitted up in lycra spandex to ride to the store. I park my bike. As I walk away the further I go the sillier I look. By the time I reach the dairy aisle where I slip on the floor in my cycling shoes I'm pictured on YouTube comedy section.
You don't have to dress in neon and lycra to ride. Here are bike shorts and clothes for the rest of us.
No lycra, bulky pads, pink butterflies, logos, no neon anything. Just comfort, fit and style. All made in USA.

It takes a village ....
... to rebuild the economy it takes a downtown.
There are several communities which have stores featuring products made nearby. Made in Pescadero is a favorite shop of ours, Petaluma now has at least one store for local artisans which I'm hearing great things about but have not been to yet. And downtown Oakland has businesses springing up that make and sell local products. Most feature local design, crafts, artisans.
While desperately seeking last minute local holiday gifts I explored this area right by my commute.
I'll be writing about them all in the next few weeks, stay tuned gentle readers.
For now, off to walk the dog.
