Zoic capri bummer

[Trek420]

Parden the funny mental picture of Knotted out on a ride and SCREAMING LOUD pants with HALLUCINOGENIC psycho flowers and/or Zoic capris in her size go by "wait! those are my pants! If I can't get in those pants can I at least buy you a drink?"

As for the being called sir part I think sometimes people see what they expect to see.

Tall person in a bike shop = gotta be a guy
Passing a guy on a bike = gotta be a guy
Handy with a pedal wrench = gotta be a guy

and then they look and "oops".

These aren't the same as the prana capris, but maybe these could help change your life. They're bright!

That person at REI probably just needs to check his/her prescription. hehe. I'm sure they did a mental "oops" and were too embarassed to correct themselves. Or maybe that person is a humongous fan of Marcie, from Charlie Brown.

Woohoo! Knotted - these will lure Ms Right to the adjacent bike rack!

[Trek420]

Why'd I ever listen to a guy? My LBS sold me these kick a** wheels. "get these wheels, chicks dig the wheels" he says.

Men. What do they know? And here all along I needed multi color capris.

Do I need the Keens to match?

Do I need the Keens to match?

My first thought was, no, they should not match, they should clash. But that would be advice for a guy. Definitely the Keens must match.

[Trek420]

I ordered a pair of cycling capris from Zoic on the official Zoic site, I'll post a review when they arrive.

I don't know if they will change my life but some won't recognise me since I'll neither be in lycra...nor blue jeans. I don't think that will change my life but it could change how often I commute by bike ;-)

[KnottedYet]

Hmmmm, those boardwalk capris are mighty fine... I should do more research.

"Keens to match"

Yes, you must get Keens. I have to admit I own 3 pair, and though my feet are very happy, I can't say they've seriously changed my life. They do start brief conversations along the lines of "Hey, I have a pair of those!" The operative word here is Brief.

Perhaps I should change my name to "Knotgettnany".

Must find Prana-replacements to assuage my bitter disappointment and cynical outlook on life.

Retail therapy! Hey, Trek, I'm gonna look for Zoic's website, too. Which capris did you order?

"if i can't get in those pants..." Trek, you are Baaaaaaaaad!

[Trek420]

KnottedYet "Hey, Trek, I'm gonna look for Zoic's website, too. Which capris did you order?"

uhm. I think they were the only ones they have there.

"Trek, you are Baaaaaaaaad! "

Me? Nah.

[KnottedYet]

Aloe or black, Trek dear?

(I'm partial to the aloe, simply because my Royal Robbins are black and my Ibex are black, and my Horny Toad are dark grey, etc etc. It's always best to broaden one's horizons.)

Too bad Ibex's 3/4 Pingos are pale pale sand color. Can you say dirt and stains? Ain't payin' $95 for something clumsy ol' me will ruin in a week.

I might just order the Aloe XL from Zoic tomorrow, since TE is rapidly running out of all Zoics and is out of XLs entirely.

Could always embroider something hallucinogenic on the Zoics. Pink skull and crossbones would be favorite.

[Trek420]

I got enough black bike shorts, tights, knickers for a pelloton, so I got Aloe...such a wild thang.

[snowtulip]

I've got the aloe Zoic Capri's, so far so good. They fit good, I was a little concerned at first about the chamois (a little large in the butt area, never had padding on the butt), so we'll see how they work out. What's nice is that if the chamois is too big, you can take them out and wear another pair of shorts under the capri.

Help the unclothed computer illiterate!

Ok, I went to Zoic. Tried to order over the phone. No phone orders. Went back to Zoic. Couldn't figure out if the site is secure or not. There's no little padlock thingy, and the order page says "yahoo" so what gives?

I don't order ANYTHING over the internet. I'm a big chicken.

How do I know it's a secure website?

Are the capri gods trying to tell me to spend my money on groceries instead?

Drove to work today instead of riding. As I was going to my car, gorgeous hottie from my building was carrying her bike down to ride to work. Of all the days for me to DRIVE. (and not have screaming loud pants)

[KnottedYet]

Found fabulous capris by Isis and Watergirl. All sold out of my size. I give up.

Not meant to have any this year.

when you click on the "order" radio button the http: in the address bar changes to https:

So it's about as secure as anything these days.

Go thou and sacrifice to the capris gods.

Let us know if they are life-changing pants.

[KnottedYet]

Thank you for the computer help. Dang, this here modern teknologee gets me all lost and confuzzled.

I think the writing is on the (computer) wall paper, as it were. Must release my capri desires back to the universe. Deep cleansing breath. Ommmmmm.

Put on my Terry commuter skort (WILD and HALLUCINOGENIC Hawaiian print) and rode like a demon up and down the hills and around the track at the school near me. My catfish belly white legs darn near blinded me.

Must wear that more. It's getting too big.

Dug out a pair of old Gramiccis, and am turning them into capris. Intend to embroider pink skull-n-crossbones on the hems. Must wear them more, cuz they're getting too big, too.

Next year if they don't fit anymore I will splurge early in the season for a pair of fab-o biking capris.

I have found my peace. Filled my soul with tranquility. Appeased the capris gods. Heeded their message.

(and there is something delightfully subversive about WSD pink skull-n-crossbones)
