Contest: Most Bike Schwag This Year
Schwag: n. (shuág); a term used to describe a crap load of unnecessary, expensive, cycling items, purposely bought to instill fear in your competition and increase your favor with the cycling gods. ©Pcad 2007.
Post your acquired shwag this year, and total price paid.
This is where we separate the men from the boys (or rich from poor).
From naive assesment:
1st: Cslone
Permanent Honorable Mention: DocRay

You do not have the requisite BF security clearance to be privy to that information. Well above your pay grade.

One year runs into another...
The schwag collects...
No way to determine this year from last...
One thing for sure, I have more than I need and I want more...

Using that definition, I have never purchased bike schwag ever. Everything I buy is absolutely necessary. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
