Found a great place for recumbent clothes
"Gene" wrote in message om... (Snowman) wrote in message om... I just found a great place for recumbent clothes. I visited this store after finding the website. I found John very helpful. www.kucharik.com Snowman9 I have a great place also, Walmart. They have a non-padded short that is tight enough around the leg to keep bugs and wind out and they cost $10. As far as shirts, what is the matter with tees that you can buy just about any where. The last thing I want to resemble is those Lycra Larrys on their DFs. From what I have experienced, the more high-priced lycra, the bigger the jerk. IMHO of course. Gene Gene, you are a man after my own heart. I get all my cycling clothing at Wal-Mart like you. I have to laugh at Calhoun Cycles of Minneapolis selling very expensive recumbent specific cycling clothing in their catalog. All I can say is that a fool and his money are soon parted. Just my opinion of course, but my opinion is NEVER humble. My opinions are on the order of oracles from the Gods of Mt. Olympus! -- Ed Dolan - Minnesota |

I understand Mr. Dolan prefers to buy clothes made by teenage girls who work 70-90 hours a week at $0.10-0.20/hour (much of which goes back to the employer for substandard dormitory housing and food) in a neo-fascist country instead of clothing made under decent conditions by adults earning a living wage in a country with reasonable human rights standards. -- Tom Sherman – Quad City Area |

I don't give a good g.d. about the living wages in any other country in the world other than the US. If China or India or Mexico or any other god forsaken country in the world do not know how to get their living standards raised, then to hell with them! If they had any brains they would copy the US. But since they don't, let them rot in their miserable countries. Hell, if we weren't buying their products from them in stores like Wal-Mart, they would be even worse off then they already are. It is mostly the US market that is pulling the rest of the world out of the mud. Mr. Sherman and his ilk can buy their stuff in stores like Eddie Bauer and Lands End and pay a premium. I and most of the rest of the world will buy our stuff in stores like Wal-Mart at the lowest possible price. I say thank God for Wal-Mart!

My favorite jerseys were made in Durango, Colorado by Boure and purchased from the aforementioned Calhoun Cycle. For recumbent use, you can often were clothing made for non-cycling outdoor activities (cross-country skiing, running, etc.). The higher quality brands are often made in the US or Canada. I like the Columbia bi-component (polyester inner/wool outer) underwear for riding in cold weather and their polyester fleece sweats (since they can easily be pulled over other clothing). -- Tom Sherman – Quad City Area |

Wake Up! Outsourcing production to mainland China takes away jobs from people in guess what country - yep, the good old USA. But since you are a Cheney/Bush supporter, you likely approve of moving US jobs to China since it benefits Cheney/Bush's multimillionaire and multibillionaire friends. -- Tom Sherman – Quad City Area |

But since you are a Cheney/Bush supporter, you likely approve of moving US jobs to China since it benefits Cheney/Bush's multimillionaire and multibillionaire friends. We are now living in a global economy and outsourcing will solve itself in due time. We Americans will do more and more the high tech types of jobs that we do best. Let the rest of the world do the grunt production type of labor, both blue collar and white collar. However, you should be in favor of outsourcing since it has the effect of raising living standards in places like China. But the bottom line for me is that you cannot get elected to public office in this country if there are not jobs available for Americans to make a living at. So let's worry about the job situation if and when it becomes a problem. Thank God for Wal-Mart. It is the salvation of not only working Americans but of all those working foreigners who can make things and sell them to us via Wal-Mart. Your conspiracy theory of millionaires and billionaires doing us all in is wearing thin. Time for you to get a new ideology! -- Ed Dolan - Minnesota |

Someone else once recommended Boure for high quality jerseys and shorts, I got one of their catalogs. I never ordered anything from them and I'm not sure why. Perhaps they were a bit pricy causing me to procrastinate to the point of inaction. I think slave or forced labor is evil so I've got this thing about buying stuff from China, where I know forced labor exists. It's getting tougher everyday to find anything not made there. skip |

The Boure recumbent jerseys do have the original series Star Trek look to them, however. -- Tom Sherman – Quad City Area |
