    And yet the various incarnations of the Little Red Riding Hood jerseys have sold like hot cakes.


    Then there is Velo Bella jersey.

    Those two and my AV jersey have a 100% hit rate for lots and lots of compliments on organized rides. None of my other jerseys get this kind of attention - and I have an embarassingly large collection.

    Well at least those two show the women actually riding astride the bikes!
    Though not sure why that one gal's platform shoes are stuck up in the air- hard to pedal that way for sure. Maybe it's to balance and compensate for the squirrely steering she gets on her bike's rather bizarre frame geometry. Look at that fork angle! She might benefit from WSD.
    And one has successfully subdued the big bad wolf.
    I actually like the ones you are pointing out- especially that Italian looking beatnik chick with the hep cat in her basket. Reminds me a bit of Mimi's Italian biking photos of old ladies on their ancient cruisers, doing their shopping.
    Better than vogueing/draping over a bike and just blowing bubbles....

    Then you're going to love/hate this year's LRRH jersey. Maybe there should be a rule limiting artistic merit? At least the wolf done seen better days.

    Well I must confess I don't actually wear jerseys except for a couple of pretty plain screaming yellow ones that I wear often to be visible in traffic. I almost always have at least one item in screaming yellow on when I ride...like a top, a windbreaker, a vest, tank, tights or capris. I don't do any club riding or competitive riding, I just ride from home in our area for exercise, fun, and to do errands/shopping. I work from home so commuting isn't part of the equation. When I ride I just feel good in every way.

    Lots of great designs here, but I'm still finding myself partial to the Mimi/Urlea submission. It's the one I could actually see myself wearing. There are many other that I like and/or think are "good designs", but wouldn't necessarily wear... I would change the sleeve color though (make it darker and maybe cooler).

    Tied for 2nd, for me, are Urlea's Daisy design and the Eden/Crazy Canuck "around the world" collaboration (although I would seriously tone down and maybe somehow abstract the place markers).

    Eden - love your latest entry.
    The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
