The thread on the one more mile shirts reminds me that I was trying to remember a website with funny cycling related tshirts that someone on here posted a while back. I do remember that a lot of the ones I really liked were not in stock, but maybe that has changed. However, I couldn't for the life of me remember who posted it or what it was in relation to, and a search of tshirt brought me way to many things. :)

Would love to hear of any sites folks have found fun bike tshirts on. Always looking for fun things to buy my family members that cycle and with the holidays coming up, now is as good a time as any.

So.... what sites do you all know of?

Woof Cycling (http://woofcycling.com/wc_tees.html) has some good ones, but I don't know if I'd consider them funny. I have the Quixotic (http://woofcycling.com/wc_tee_04.html) shirt and wore it a lot this summer. Nice soft cotton and a comfortable fit.

Thanks for the info everyone, definitely fun to look through! Here's another site http://shop.cafepress.com/cycling.

I tried bringing in some tshirts this fall, and they did ok. My thought that they were great for inexpensive gifts, and it gives people a way to express themselves. At any rate, I have been considering bringing in added inventory.. what is your opinion? I realize that different parts of the country have different ideas/and various subcultures etc...

At any rate, I would love your opinion(s) if you should have the time. Thank you:p

These are great.

I ordered one, it came very quickly, and I was happy with the customer service, quality of the product, and the design.

Really depends on the bike logo design on front or back. (Front makes more sense, since people look at your face.) One thing I noticed when our local cycling advocacy organization was providing a choice of T-shirt fit styles for the volunteers, is that all the women chose the women's style..which is abit more fitted against the body. Not the loose, baggier T-shirts. And if the women who wanted a loosier one, they just got a men's style. Last time, I was a bit bummed out..the women's cut T-shirt was snapped up by all the women. I look like a sack in most men's small-size T-shirt.

This trend has already happened several times for different T-shirt bike logo designs for the organization.

So whatever artistic designs you choose on the men's T-shirts make it gender neutral so that it serves either gender. Women's T-shirt cut could have a more women-oriented design....however I wouldn't go that route for stocking a retail bike store.

Thanks for the imput Shootingstar; I appreciate it! I think it is something that I will play with over the winter months, and hopefully here within the near future I'll come up with something.

Hey, I know the brother of the guy who owns this company--I have had 2 tattoos done in his shop (Area 51 Tattoos in Muskegon, MI). Super nice guy.

Another site, with some cycling women-oriented themes:

The back of a woman's t-shirt has 10 commandments for cyclists. Front is different.

Don't forget Jeff Mallet's Frazz comic character who cycles: http://www.cafepress.com/cp/store.aspx?s=frazz.354431

You got me a bit curious to search around.

I received the Twin Six T shirt I bought for my son. It looks well made and comfortable; the cotton isn't that scratchy stuff.
You are right Shooting Star. Even this small sized men's t shirt would be huge and baggy on me. I don't necessarily want a woman's "design," on the front, just a woman's fit. And come in an extra small size, please!

Ground Effect has some cool shirts too http://www.groundeffect.co.nz/product-detail-TT2-SUM.htm is one example.

Anyone know of any other companies that have mtn bikes on the shirts rather than road bikes? There's another NZ company that does them but can't remember the name at the mo...

I just got this one in the mail today and it's super-cute. it has a bit of spandex in it to give it a very, very flattering look and the feel is awesome.

I LOVE the blurb on this one! Too bad it doesn't appear on the T-shirt, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
