    When Susan thought your Zoic zipper was a TE issue, she was all over it! Eric at Zoic could learn from her!

    Zoics on the bike.

    Zounds. I rode in my Zoic capris this morning. A whole 1 and 1/2 mile before I couldn't take it one second more and went home.

    The rise is waaaaay too short to work on me on my bike. Even my Pearl Izumi Whisper vest wasn't long enough to cover the top of my buns, and the tail of that vest is mighty long. That part of me doesn't get exposed to the light of day, and complained. The only way gorgeous hotties were gonna be chasing me in those capris is if they have a thing for major plumber's butt.

    They've been washed twice. At this point they've shrunk enough that the thighs bind on the bike. As the thighs bound and twisted against the seat the fabric dragged the back waistband down even lower, and soon most of the fabric was pulled to the front in a very attractive wad. Kinda like those poor boys in red shorts in MtnDarby's avatar.

    At least I can wear them at work and off the bike. And I can wear my handmade Gramicci capris on the bike.

    The life changing capris arrived yesterday on the second bounce, so TE won the race of getting them to the customer first. Also note to the consumer, with TE I think there is a return shipping label included if you need to send them back, with Zoic I paid Still working that out with them, ahem.

    The zipper works! Yeah. *\o/* *\o/* *\o/* should have the first time.

    Insert Capris review here: love the idea of pockets but, since they are on the thighs which are in motion on a bike couldja make 'em looser? I may test ride these today but even on a walk with the dog keys in the pocket were tight.

    Speaking of tight, we're cyclists, we've got legs, thighs are kinda tight especially near the knees.

    Knote to Knotted-they're gonna shrink?! eek

    Now about this low-rise thang. Yes, the waist is kinda low and I'm not sure gorgeous hotties or anyone wants to see *that* but my options include:

    get one of those cool base-of-the-spine tats

    wear Velo Girls vest, it's is a little long. should provide coverage

    wearing Zoics to work on days I spin and get spin bike in the back of the class

    take up plumbing.
