Bike goodies #4 - somebody stop me!

I've been sorta obsessed with sunglasses lately. Not the really good kind, like Oakleys; I can't afford them. The closest I ever came to Oakleys was the $8 counterfeits that I purchased near Times Square once, which lasted for maybe a dozen rides before the temples snapped in two.

Last week I saw where the Toyota-United team is selling off all their inventory, and I submitted a pretty low-ball bid on a helmet and some quality sunglasses — like the Specialized Miura and Tifosi Gavia and Slip — but my bid was rejected.

Then I ran across the PBK Motion sunglasses on ProBikeKit.com. Five interchangeable lenses, 100% UV protection, $17. Tax-free, and shipping to the US is still free. I've had good luck with PBK in the past, so I'm gonna give these a shot. Oh – also ordered an Elite Ciussi bottle cage while I was there.

Tonight I went to Excel Cycle in Excelsior for their winter clothing sale. Got an awesome Castelli wool cap and a pair of Craft windproof gloves for half price. Score! Now I really gotta stop spending money for a while…
