Get Cycling, Stay Fabulous

Posted by Will "the Intern" Radik on Fri, Aug 21, 2009 at 4:52 PM

So you've recognized the benefits of using a bicycle as a mode of transportation in your daily life. You want the tight, ass-kicking thighs, the relaxed conscience, and the wind in your hair that come with a cyclist's lifestyle. But you don't want to look like a TRON cast reject. Starting today, as part of Community Cycling Center's "I Ride" campaign, Pin Me will be showcasing stylish items that are also conducive to cycling.

Prairie Underground hoodies have long sleeves that can be pulled over your hands to shield them from the biting wind.

Spiewalk raincoats protect from the cold drizzle like any other raincoat, but with a classy fitting cut instead of a formless bulk.

Leggings make skirts a less problematic cycling option and, bonus, they don't have to be spandex!

With a donation of $10 to wonderful Portland non-profit Community Cycling Center, shoppers get 15% off their purchases. Community Cycling Center provides educational resources; affordable, recycled bikes; and more to the Portland area. As if all that isn't enough, they're also giving away pins that say things like, "I match my shoes to my helmet." Free pins, people!

Get down there sometime between now and Sept. 13th and get equipped with the cycling outfit of your dreams.
