Oh my; that's just awful. And shame on Velonews for accepting the ad.

Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

I agree to all what has been said before. This is discusting. They must be selling other matters and not cycling clothes. I would be more than happy to write a letter to whomever.
That is one reason I have continued to look at men's clothes for cycling. They have larger pockets and the jerseys have longer front zippers. Not only that, the sleeves are actual sleeves not a wanna-be sleeve that gives you no coverage. Also there seems to be more choice in what to wear.

They could have at least put a freakin sports bra on her and showed the t.h.o. if they really wanted to. That at least does happen in real life cycling for women. An un-modest moment for women, and a cheap thrill for any male riding partners. There's no woman I know who wants their girls free wheelin it in the wind and jarring with potholes braless over the top tube. Gheez

So what's the email address of Velonews? And what's your contact for PI?

I used the general contact forms on their websites. The couple of times I've had complaints about a manufacturer in the past, I've found that those work to get your message forwarded to the right people.

I just looked at the pic Andrea, and wow. I think PI should start selling lingerie, cuz that's what it looks like to me..or should I say, I've seen lingerie that is less revealing than that photo. As a female cyclist, I am offended by that ad. Sex sells I guess. Are they advertising a mans or ladies jersey? Only men would find that ad appropriate (ok, 99% of the men I know as not to offend the appropriate men we have here).
