Does cycling make you feel obsessed with shopping? -YES!!!

Yeah, me too. I get tired of my clothes but it's too much work to replace them. No one here cares anyway.
But did I tell you about the new bike shorts I'm getting?

Oh man. I have it bad too. Today is my brithday and I am going into the LBS ready to do some DAMAGE (I "need" new glasses for one thing...and some tools nowe that I am becoming more independent...and at least one new jersey for sure...

OMG, me too! I normally hate shopping but now I have to stop in to every bike shop I drive past. Can't wait to go to Vancouver and Victoria in a week - there must be a dozen good bike shops there!!!

I'm glad I'm not alone! I'm not a "normal" woman as I really hate shopping- except for bike stuff. I spend countless hours on e-bay and online looking for great cycling stuff. It's a terrible hobby- but luckily one my DH doesn't complain (too much) about.

Shopping for sport stuff is a disease. I own more cycling and tennis outfits than anything else. I just bought two new tennis outfits and shoes, and new Assos bibs. Oh I so looking forward to trying them on. They are still in transit. I would go to a store to buy a shirt or shoes that I actually need and leave with nothing. But if I go online for the sport stuff, always find something that I cannot live without. It is tough!

Whewwww I am glad I am not nearly ALONE in this "MISERY"

So girls do we need to fight the temptation or we should just give in the gear thats calling our names?

**Brandy** · 08-11-2006, 08:22 AM

Definitely. Just when I think I'm fully outfitted and geared, I think of something else I need to buy.

Ditto! Shopping is fun.

I agree with chickwhorips. I definitely have more running and riding "stuff" than work clothes. Unfortunately, I work in a "professional" office and don't have uniforms, so I own several pairs of black pants! Shopping for work clothes that don't fit = bad mood; shopping for cute atheltic wear that fits =
