There were a few times waaaay back in summer when I
actually struggled with my Want It Wednesdays (join the link party by visiting
Jez’s site here) – I was happy with
my bikes, gear, everything. I was
sated. Content. At one with the cycling universe.
Now that the holidays are upon us I have corporate America
to thank for reminding me of all the things I didn’t know I want. Gift lists abound for those of us addicted to
two-wheeled transportation, and in perusing one of them (What a Girl Wants:Holiday Gifts for the Female Cyclo-phile) I discovered a new want that is
perhaps my most ridiculous want ever.
To every woman who ever wanted to stand out at a cross
race, I present the Maloja MatildaM Skinsuit…

Ain’t it pretty? Bear
with me, as my high school Deutsch is a bit rusty, but I believe these are the
claims presented on the website: the MatildaM is guaranteed to make you at
least 24% faster, provide you with the ability to fly over the barriers, and
reduce the weight of your bike to a mere 2.6 pounds when carried on your
shoulder. Though they make no guarantee,
they also report that woman who wore this in test races earned an average of
$62 in hand-ups for every 30 minutes raced.
Would I wear it?
Difficult to say, which is why this Want It Wednesday is actually a
double feature. I want the skinsuit and the courage to wear it. Seriously, how awesome would it be to line up
at a cross race with that suit on?!
I'd wear it. No question.
ReplyDelete*suck air through teeth* I'm finding myself a little at a loss how to comment here. Looking at lycra tops in general there is nothing particularly flattering about it really, but this is a 'stylish' (choosing my words with care here) way of getting around this. Actually I like it.....but maybe from a man's point of view for the wrong reasons ?! I imagine from the increased $ hand outs I'm not the only one!
