surprising places you've found cycling stuff?

Mimi- we love the new Honda Fit! No surprising cycling finds in it... but Sunday we went to the bike swap meet and my DH found a great used bike, which fit in the spacious cargo area in the back with tons of room to spare.

I found a Brooks "cycling" jersey on a website (don't remember which one) for a great price. I didn't know then that Brooks is more for running. Well, it works great for cycling. It has a rear center zipper pocket and 2 side pocket that are the perfect size. And it's hi-vis. Funny how they had it under the cycling section even though the tags were all about running.


Azfiddle, sent you an email. We also went to the bike swap but didn't have your husband's luck. Maybe the next one.

Many many bike shops in my city, and many big outdoor gears stores also that carry bike gears, but it is in a small hardware store that I found the best ever rear view mirror for my bike, and I bought one for each bike. 4.99$. And they save my life every day as I commute on busy bike lanes.

I've actually been surprised at the stuff we find at thrift stores. The best was a jersey I got for my husband with a shark on it.

Claudia, I just wrote back. We had a great time at the swap meet- the DH just happened to luck into that particular bike and is very happy with it.

I found some PI Ultrasensor bike shorts at Building 19 once (or was it Building 19 1/2?). A friend saw them and told me to go there. The legs were shorter than Ultrasensors are supposed to be, so guess that's why they dumped them at Building 19.

As a result of this tread, I had to stop in at TJ Max today (not one of my normal haunts). I found a Cannondale sleeveless jersey and baggy cycling short with liner, both M which is what I usually wear. Both were way too big. So I went and checked the small section and found a shortsleeve Cannondale jersey that's a cute green pattern for $12.99. No shorts in my size though.

Does the label on the green jersey say "Leaf" ?

I wore mine today.

and you are complaining about a size Medium being too big? Girl, what are you thinking?
