Considering I ride this bike, I don't think I'll be finding clothing to match it unless Kermit the Frog starts a clothing line.

Jacquie's one of my heroes. The fact that she recently rode a single speed mtb race in a men's three-piece suit is inspirational. That's a woman who can make up her own mind how to coordinate! (Though everyone else in that race also appears to be somewhat unusually coordinated...)

"How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."
David Desautels, in a letter to velonews.com
Random babblings and some stuff to look at.
Yeah you should just wear whatever you want. I wear blue sunglasses that don't match with anything. My bike is orange and I don't have any blue clothes so they really don't match. I used to worry about it, but I decided that I don't care if they match because they are nice glasses and they are comfortable.
I also have a pink atmos helmet and it doesn't match anything I own, bikes or clothes. I'm fine with that.
And ready to share...the sartorial secrets of the stylish old bat!
Go ahead, be 'clothes-minded'...in here, we are all safe.
Check out last year's VERY successful 2008 calendar where I posed in 85% cacao chocolate and little else (see "new calendar" on right margin of my blog at jacquiephelan.com)
Marin photographer Anne Cutler said: "Why not show everyone what you are wearing the OTHER half of the time?"
And "Unmitigated Gal 2009" was born: a full-color calendar that ONLY people who want will be buying, since we were clever and had the company that makes them ship only when an order arrives (thus: no boxes full of beautiful calendars in the home of the model, who is tragically incapable of actually selling her own...er...fabulous calendar.
This is where you (my tribe, after all) come in: word-of-mouth (the first three letters in "WOMBAT". How about looking at the calendar and lodging your very valued opinions?
You can imagine what kind of reception it might get at a print bike magazine (which is a thinly disguised men's lifestyle mag, n'est-ce pas?)
So, here tis: http://www.lulu.com/content/3682015
at least, I hope it is...
Cheers, all...
The nice thing about getting older is you care less what other people think.
