Today I was at a bike shop called Bicycle World of Houston.. Awesome shop. Great staff… But, I heard a funny comment by an employee. He told me that he heard that elite level women didn’t really care if their bikes matched their clothes or shoes etc… I almost died…

Let me just say, I love to match. I love shopping, I love outfits, I love accessories. Not every outfit works right, but I like to play and I like to try out new ideas. My perfect group ride would be to be able to give the guys a run for their money with a bike that matches my outfit, and would never be seen in any bike raceJ Truly, if I could find a way to make rhinestones aerodynamic, my bike would blind everyone else and I would win as long as we were sprinting into the sun… So needless to say, I was mortified to hear that guys think we don’t want to match…

Right now I’m really into black, white, and a touch of red… My beautiful new Giant TCRw matches my new Shimano shoes, and Giro helmet. I just designed a couple of jerseys for my VeloBetty company and they are simple and fun. I have a day and a night version. Ok so that’s one way of saying that I have a Black and a White jersey, and I have black shorts and a white limited edition short. Trying to come up with names but that’s another story… Fallen Angel for the Black, and … . For the White? They are hot, and there will be no guys who think that girls don’t want to match after they see this show of what women want… I say lets not keep them guessing, because they are clearly wrong. You can be fast, or you can be doing coffee shop rides, but no way in the world do women not care about what they are wearing. Sometimes I wonder where guys come up with this stuff…..
