Why is it so hard to throw away old cycling apparel?

Well, I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one with clothing I can't seem to part with. Although in my case, it isn't necessarily that it has holes, worn out elastic... sometimes it's because I get something new to replace it. I do end up giving some to a friend that doesn't own a whole lot of cycling clothing, but sadly, I still have a great deal of it.

OK, OK maybe now I'll be inspired to do something productive with it!

It was fun to give away cycling clothing I'd shrunk out of. I found some AIDS Lifecyle riders my previous size to donate to.

I'd like to lose/tone up more and donate another round but then .... I'd need to buy more stuff.

Oakleaf, between recycling and composting I was paying for a full can so non-recycling neighbors could top off. Now I've got a smaller can thus saving $17 a month. I donate a lot to local thrift stores, especially during the remodel, try as we did to order just enough I ended up with extra materials. Those went to Habitat for Humanity. it's a nice tax deduction.

We have a bike thrift store that supports Trips for Kids to donate to or go to.
