Eleven Gear

Got any cyclists in the family? If so, you know that cycling jerseys are a source of pride and putting one on brings about a certain change of persona in the cyclist. Oddly, I do know this from personal experience. Suiting up in biking gear gives me a feeling of sci-fi invincibility and since I look so sleek I know I must be faster.

But nowadays bike clothes are burdened by so many corporate logos with the intent of styling everyday cyclists to look like professional racers. Yeh, right! Well, if you or the cyclist you love wants a really trick jersey and has a sense of humor, you must go to www.elevengear.us and check out their very fine gear. Wanna feel like a rocket? Saturn V is the shirt for you. Wanna poke a little fun at yourself as well as your bike buddies, well it would have to be Poseur.

Eleven Gear's designer is Rick Pepper, an Emmy award-winning animator and bike racer, and his attention to detail in the designs is astounding. He also put his sense of humor into the website and you might want to spend a little time reading it for a bit of biking amusement. Make sure you check out the motto on the Republic of Anaerobia shirt, cap and water bottle! Anyone who has exercised a little too hard, should appreciate this.

And remember, our wonderful gift giving holidaze are right around the corner...

I hope you enjoy it,
