Loving Levis
I am retailer. I sell things for a living. Among other things, I sell cycling kit for a living. I’m just sayin’. When we first started discussing the idea of ptborides.com people said, “Hey, you could do product reviews …blah, blah, blah”.

*This post is stickied, scroll down for newer posts. Howdy Everybody. I am back from Spain with a few good stories to tell over the coming weeks.

Read moreSimple Pleasures #2 – Cycling Shorts
Like any sport cycling has its own fashion quirks. The angle that one wears a helmet at instantly tells the initiated what kind of rider they are looking at. Are the sunglasses under or over the helmet straps, is the cap worn pulled down or perched on the head of the wearer? Which is cool? [...]
Read moreClothing Design #3 The ptborides.com Jersey
The custom cycling jersey has been worn with pride by generations of riders. Each bearing a unique design and image, the custom jersey is as old as the sport itself.
