Hey there
I had to tell you, I rode my bike to work this morning and wore the bloomers under my jeans, and I swear that the ride felt easier than usual. And they don’t look bulky under the jeans. Before I had just worn them under workout pants or once under a sundress (which was super cute). Anyway, I really do like them.

“The bike panties are my new favorite thing in the world.
I rode in them across the mountains of Spain…..the best comfort ever!”
I tell everyone about the Bloomers I have also shamelessly modeled them for friends!

Yes, anytime I am in the Bloomers whenever I am in the knickers. Use any photo you want! I’ll send a few more?

It’s the most comfortable ride I have ever had…..and I was really nervous about the $$$…. but they turned out to be the
best investment ever. I wish my bike shop could stock them

I use my Bloomers whenever I’ve got a long cycle to or from work.
They are supper easy, supper comfortable and I especially love using them if I am wearing a skirt because I can just pop to the loo and slip them off when I get to my destination.

It’s great (the reversible skirt). And, I showed off your bloomers online to a friend of mine who thought they were the perfect solution for women to feel great on a bike. So, you are on the right track my friend. Well done!

THANK YOU!

“… I will continue to spread the word (about My Alibi). What I love most about your bloomers is the low waist, and the chamois is incredibly soft and comfortable. I just love them!”

Just got ‘em today and they fit great. I also wanted to say that I
appreciate the minimalist packaging you use to ship your products.
Over-packaging drives me crazy.

My friend Liza, from San Juan Island, showed me her skirt and said “Lyd, this skirt is perfect you need one so I bought one.” Oh My God, Women come up to me all the time and ask me about it and if they don’t I go up to them and tell them they need one.
Abbey, I have to be your biggest fan. Perhaps you should think about taking a trip to Portland. I would be glad to host you and I think you could sell A LOT of skirts (not to mention those cutie bug shorts). When I talk about your skirt I refer to it as “the one thing I’d grab if my house was on fire.” Keep up the good work.

“I love my Bloomers and the diversity they give me for looking cute on my bike! I never thought I would be able to wear skirts so freely as I cruise through town and bike trails. Now I feel great on my bike for more reasons than just the exercise!”

These Girls are Pretty Fast

Sofia & Victoria model prototypes at Bike Fashion Show

I am going to start off by telling you a little bit about these girls that I call “The Pretty Fast Girls”. About two years ago, I was coaching some high school boys and at their races began noticing these super dedicated/talented girls starting to really shine. It was pretty well known that the top ranking guys were training together with Whole Athlete. By the end of the season, I was inspired to find a way to offer these top ranking girls the same sort of comradery, and so that summer the Pretty Fast Girls came together under the Whole Athlete Junior Development Team. Immediately, I was blown away by the passion for riding that these girls possessed at such a young age. When many of their peers are fretting in the mirror and dieting, these girls are out ripping single-track, and hungry for more.

First Norcal Race 2011

It didn’t take long before these elite ladies from different High Schools began building a bond that allowed them to fully grasp the concept of competition being an opportunity to work together to take their sport to the next level. The first season of these girls racing together yielded many victories that were on top of the podium and far beyond as they have begun to inspire many new girls to enjoy the ride. Now as we begin the second year of racing, it is my hope that their journey will be full of life lessons that allow them to see the forest for the trees. Follow their stories as the season rolls on: Pretty Fast Girls Blog.

Why Heather Rides

WHY I RIDE A BIKE

by Heather Sellers

Every single time I get on my bike, I feel two things: younger, wiser. Cycling is childhood perfected.

For a long, long time, I forgot about bikes.

I was married to a runner and I was a runner. When we got divorced, I needed a new context for myself. New people to be around, new friends, some version of running that was my own. I needed something to do that cleared my mind and strengthened me. Something to reset the counter to zero. I wasn’t sure who I was, but I suspected the bike would take me to her.

I bought a Bianchi because it was the most beautiful, perfect thing I had seen in a long, long time. Like most adults, I had forgotten all about bikes. Their perfection as machines: nothing missing, nothing extra. Like a poem. heather1

At first, the Bianchi was like a lover, a rebound relationship, a summer romance. I didn’t want to date for a long time after my divorce. I just wanted to ride my bike. On the bike, I am my most essential self. I’m happiest. The bike tunes me to myself.

I teach writing and creativity at the college level, and this is what I tell my students: you don’t need this class. You already know everything you need to know. Remember when you danced? Drew? Sang? Played all manner of musical instruments? You have been an artist all along. Why did you stop? When did you stop?

Same thing for the bike.

We’re all cyclists. Those of us fortunate to have had bikes as kids know exactly what it is that makes riding the bike as important, vital, and sustaining as prayer. Riding is heavenly.

Why did we stop?
