Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

annual rapha post-survey 20% discount time

for those of you signed up for the rapha newsletter (The World?s Finest Cycling Clothing and Accessories | Rapha), it's survey time again.
good for a 20% discount till july 15th. time to pick up some more merino wool undershirts and another summer lightweight jersey.
the stuff ain't cheap but 20% off helps.

Running to the bank to take out a second mortgage so I can buy a jersey from them. Seriously....My GF bought be a Rapha base layer. I was totally against the idea of a base layer until I wore tried it. She got a Rapha jersey from me for X-Mas.

I love their stuff but it is expensive. The base layers are my favorite though. I took advantage of the offer and bought 2 new undershirts with the 20% discount. Their chamois cream is pretty good too, but I'm already stocked up at the moment.

I love how Rapha takes the "most expensive" gear reputation. I can see that it's not for everyone, but it's not the most expensive. In fact it's basically pretty in par with other brands top shelf items. Assos has bib shorts for $400+ yet I rarely see anyone hate on assos.

Giordana, Assos, Sugoi, shoot even LG has bib shorts that cost more than Rapha bibs, yet everyone who doesn't wear Rapha likes to crap in it.

I get that Rapha has an "elite" type of reputation and some woukd say snobby. So what. I'm not buying their gear because of their marketing. I buy it because it is top shelf gear and I like the quality and fit. There are plenty of other brands out there to choose from which can empty your bank account.

I've gotten 4 or 5 20% codes in the last 2 months. Took advantage of it for an aero jersey, base layers and the new climbers jersey.
