    Spreading the word about TE

    My husband recently sold something to a woman in Canada. With the package, he included a note on one of the TE post-it notes that are typically included in TE purchases (which we have a ton of). Well, apparently the woman wasn't quite sure what to make of the name but went to TE's website and was really impressed with the selection. So, Susan, if a Canadian woman named Claudia orders from TE, you owe the sale to a post-it note!!!

    I received those post-its once, when I ordered something and had it shipped to hotel in Portland where dearie was staying. One does wonder how other women learn of TE.

    I'm trying to remember I learned of it...I think it was just by accident after I was tired of participating in another women's cycling forum that was moderated too heavily with several members being overly sensitive about various comments. NOt that we are free-ranging here but I think people here are just practical and respectfully honest here with suggestions most of the time.

    I found the retail site first, but I can't remember how. Presumably I Googled something and TE came up in the search. I think my first purchase was a Shebeest jersey.

    My husband is slightly embarrassed by the Team Estrogen post it notes. Which amuses me.

    I keep at least one pad of the TE post-its in the lab. No one else wants to use them (are they embarrassed by it? I don't know) so my supply of post-its is safe! It also means that people know who left notes.

    I seem to remember that I found TE via a swimsuit discussion on another forum.
    At least I don't leave slime trails.

    I believe I found TE after googling "how to unclip while going slowly up a hill without falling down and making a fool of oneself", or something like that.

    I'm sure I came to TE through the retail site as I found it hard to find women's cycling clothing in North Carolina where I lived when I first started. I don't know what led me to the forums, but I'm sure glad it happened!

    I used to have one of the TE window clings on my car in NC. One of the guys I worked with used to give me a hard time about it. He'd ask stupid stuff like 'does the whole team take one week off per month?". Ugh. I know he was kidding, but it got old quick and he never seemed to get that.
