DH is making me confess also in this forum, that I am yet, another bike addict. I wake daily and wonder what the forecast and wind direction/gust will be, before I began biking, horrific winds could go on for days and I would never have noticed. I longily gaze at new, fancy bikes, knowing I can't afford them.. But gosh they are purty and have nice bling on them..My true addiction? Clothing. I will spend 40-60 on a good jersey, 60 on a good pair of padded shorts. But where do I do all of my general clothes shopping to afford such luxeries? Salvation Army! I hate spending good money on general appearance, who am I impressing anyways? I would never dream of spending 16-20 dollars on a flimsy t-shirt type shirt, but will spend that on a pair of wool socks that no one will ever see or appreciate. I have assorted padded shorts, knickers, and long tights all for varying lengths in ride and thicknesses to accomodate varying temperature changes. Same with long sleeve jerseys and jackets for the weather. I've learned alot about pricing and quality of garments and have a shelf full to prove it. But yet I feel I can't part with any thing on this shelf. DH tells me this madness must stop. I was told the first step to curing an addiction is admitting to it..I am not ready yet to take that first step of admission..Now that confession is over, I am off to see what cycling clothes are on sale . (Please no one tell DH, he thinks he can reform me once I"ve confessed my sins).
