"This photo was taken when I was four -- the age at which I discovered stretch/bike shorts. At the time, spandex was quite popular -- as was Jazzercise, Mousercise, and anything else ending in the word -cise. Sadly, my obsession with it spanned a full five years -- until the fifth grade. Luckily, I finally saw the light, and left bike shorts in the dust; though I’m still quite fond of leggings. As you can see, my obsession with boots had already begun. -- Erika, Café Fashionista

Tell Erika I feel her pain. This happend to me in my drviweay, while there was a neighborhood yard sale going on. To make matters worse I couldn't get out of my clips so I was laying crashed in the drviweay yelling for my husband to come pick me up. Luckily it does get better. Hope you both are enjoying your bikes!
