Lets see you on your bike!

Where did you go in BC?

We were in the Vancouver area along Howe Sound. We rode around Squamish and also inland around Pemberton. And walked around Whistler (lots of pedestrians and didn't have the time to find the lesser traveled areas). The bike paths around Whistler looked very idea for hybrid type bikes though, and it's nice to see you could really get around that way. Absolutely beautiful there.

I finally got one of my co-workers to take some pictures as I'm leaving work. Usually I'm grinning ear to ear while riding but my friend caught me while talking away!



They all pretend to think I'm crazy and eccentric for commuting (which I am but that's beside the point... ) but secretly they all wanna do it!

Great picture! Is that a Shebeest Ocean Wind Bellissima jersey from here at TE? I've been eyeing it for about a week. Is it comfortable?

It's my favorite jersey!!! I love the cut - it makes me feel good to wear it. It's very comfortable and I wish there were more colors (besides the one with the yellow sleeves and daisies - oh and wish there were plus-sized long-sleeved versions!)

Okay, now I need one of those jerseys. It is so nice to see them on someone, to see how they hang/fit. Is it true to size? I love, love, love Shebeest and just bought some from TE, but was uncertain ow this one fit. Please let me know so I can add more to my list of "must haves".

BTW, your bike is sweet.

Patty, what is that bike anyway? It looks great. Is it a hybrid?

What a lovely internal hub gear you have on that bike, Gozlin7.

Thank you everyone for such nice comments on my bike!

The jersey fits well in the size I chose for me (3X). The sleeves are non-binding and as you can see the rest gives me a loose but not baggy coverage of my, ahm, generous self. There isn't elastic in the hem but it glides smoothly over my rear assets and doesn't ride up. It has a more feminine cut (slightly princess?) that I think would be flattering to many body types. I don't know if that helps you or not as so much of fit is subjective to our own tastes and foibles.

Hey guys, way way up, the second or third post in this thread i am wearing that other sheebeest jersey, the one with orange and the daisies. I like it a lot!

I noticed it in your pictures. If the plus sized one came with orange sleeves instead of yellow - it'd be here already!

Patty, what is that bike anyway? It looks great. Is it a hybrid?

They call it a commuter bike. She's a 2006 Novara Fusion (WSD). She came fully loaded (bell, rack, disc brakes, one dyno light, one battery light, internal hub gear), has slightly curved flat handlebars with a cross piece and she's not light. Probably around 30 lbs. For commuting I usually have a handlebar bag and a trunk back on her (as in the above pictures). For errands, I add a pair of grocery panniers and for leisure just go the the handlebar bag and the underseat toolbag. In all 3 set ups she handles well. The tires are 700cc with the front tire width being a 35 and the rear being a 37.

And the dynohub too. You don't even waste batteries

She's got both a battery headlight and the dynohub light. I use rechargeables in the battery light. Besides being pro recharagable batteries for environmental reasons, I'd go broke buying them because I have yet to consistently remember to turn the light off when I do use it. I rode most of the summer with just the dynolight and have just broken down and put batteries in the other now that it's getting light later.

Thanks again for all the nice things everyone posted!

gozlin7 "oh and wish there were plus-sized long-sleeved versions!"

oh, forget long sleeve jerseys, the moment you get warmed up they are a *&^%.

Get a wild pair of arm skins! Maybe some AV arm skins (you'd have to find someone here who'll part with them or wait till next time).

Yeah they are probably laughing all the way to the gas station. Then they stop laughing.
