Itw would be nice if local PDs would accept video and cite drivers. It seems this is only accepted by judge's in the wrongful death cases...:confused:

On another tack - I just bought two pairs of Pearl Izumi cycling shorts, barely used, from someone on Craigslist. Is that icky? I mean, I will wash them and they were only $10/each.

Use saddles and brake hoods to me are gross already due to the amount of sweat that's been on there, but shorts? Yes, icky is correct.

So yer sporting wimmen's shorts? :rolleyes:

jyl 02-02-2013 03:32 PM

Err, I guess so.

I find that women's sports stuff can fit men if the sizing is adjusted. A women's XL jacket is roughly a men's L, etc. Guess which shows up on sale, overstock, remaindered, more often.

I'm not wearing pink rose lace stuff, these are your standard black, tight stretch metrosexual cycling shorts.

Joe Bob 02-02-2013 03:38 PM

Not that I was worried....;)

Can anyone tell me why men's cycling jackets have the zippers on the "wrong" side? Gore, Showers Pass, PearlIzumi, all of them have the pull on the left side. Is that Euro?

Thats easy. Many of these clothes are made mostly for the European market. They put the zippers on the "other" side.

EDIT, best explanation I could find is here:
