Just because you have a women's kit doesn't mean you have a kit for women.
Here's the thing. Within design there's often compromise. It's too easy to make apparel that's a souvenir from a brand rather than a product made for a pointed use. The Luxe Bib is a reaction to that. This is a bib made without compromise and with a single goal of making the experience of riding... Continue Reading →
That jersey, though. Angeles Creative is a small company from Southern California but they are making waves in a big way. The internet has fallen in love with their Spektrum collection and I have too. They are fresh off a new release of a womens-specific Cyan Shimmer jersey and the color bomb is truly epic. Straight out of the... Continue Reading →
I wish I had the woman-power of CyclingTips and Total Women's Cycling to bring you stories like this one first-hand but alas, I'm a one-woman show over here. So thanks to sites like these for being excellent resources. This story developed because CyclingTips is now selling Machines for Freedom in their Emporium. A Southern California...

Gorgeous cycling shoes made for women are finally here. Long have men had the stylish options from Giro in the Empire model. Purple, orange, matte black, glossy gold. ENOUGH.

If you're in the market for a sports bra for cycling, then consider these. They are both medium support, seamless for comfort and layering, and come in black and white. The only difference is Rapha will set you back $75 and the Champion for Target bra is only $16.99 in store and online.
Well, you can't get much more ubiquitous than Sock Guy. They are hands-down my favorite brand. Every single pair fits perfectly, washes well, holds up, and looks sharp. They have numerous original and collaborations that offer a broad range of design and color for endless days of #sockdoping. They care about what they make for... Continue Reading →
I first noticed this brand around the time of the tragic Orlando club shooting in the States. They had a wonderful message of positivity and love and just so happened to have a rainbow sock for purchase to show support for LGBT communities everywhere. But that's not all they are. They are exploration-positive, outdoor-positive and... Continue Reading →
Maybe not yet incorporating lycra, students from Otis Design in California were designing couture fashion for women on the bike. Personally, I don't care to dress like Sex and the City everyday but bike fashion DESERVES an injection of more style for women, always. https://www.apparelnews.net/news/2016/mar/10/otis-fashion-design-students-create-bicycling-outf/
Two Des Moines women weren't pleased with the selection of women's cycling apparel so they started making it themselves. Velorosa Cycling launched one year ago after co-owners Kim Hopkins and Lisa Carponelli say they saw a need for women's cycling gear that fits a woman's body. http://whotv.com/2016/07/19/iowa-women-creating-cycling-apparel-for-a-womans-body-style/ That's what I'm talking about!
