Well, now that you mention it, I see them mostly on older ppl in my club. Of course, I'm an older people too, but new.
Zen: I just feel I'm s'posed to know stuff like that. I have a rack on my road bike, but I didn't know I wasn't s'posed to.

I have racks on my road bikes, and have for decades.

If you want a rack on your bike you shall have a rack on your bike. And streamers if you're so inclined. And a pinwheel. And a bubble machine.

On TOSRV this past weekend there was a group of college men with iridescent streamers on their fancy carbon bikes. Just after they'd passed me (and a rather large group of bikes), a streamer fell off one of the bikes. The kid just had to stop and get it. There was a lot of (bicycle) traffic and I don't know long it took him to get back to the streamer, but it was at least 20 minutes before the group caught back up to me - the streamer that had fallen off was jammed in the kid's jersey pocket Originally Posted by zencentury

Anyone know if there are women's crochet gloves out there? Men's gloves never fit me. They always end up too long- the Velcro wraps around my wristbone.
I like the old school look.

If the gloves are real leather and real cotton, and they're close to your size, they'll be your size after a few wearings or sooner if you get them a little bit wet and let them dry.

This is funny to me. I saw crochet gloves at the LBS and I thought they were pretty and feminie unlike the black lycra ones. When I finally went in to buy myself a pair I made a comment about being excited to have a pretty, feminine pair of gloves. The sales person (man, racing elitist type) become quite offended and corrected me by informing me that they were meant to keep your hands cooler when riding in the summer. Sorry
